Spring Craft: Easy Kid's Pinwheel!

Spring makes me think of kites, bubbles, windsocks and 

of course PINWHEELS!

We have never made our own pinwheels,

so this Mama felt it was time we remedied that.

What You Need:

paper

crayons, markers or paint

scissors

pin

pencil w/eraser

What To Do:

1. Cut your paper into a square (needs to be even on all sides)

2. Paint or color both sides of paper

3. Let fully dry

4. Cut diagonal slits along each point (4 total)

- do not go all the way to the middle, leave about 2 inches.

5. Without folding, bend every other point to the center & hold

6. Continue with all 4 points & then stick your pin right through the middle

7. Stick pin into pencil eraser
*This part should be done by an adult*

8. Blow! 

You now have a working pinwheel(s).

Enjoy!

* Please note that since this pinwheel involves a pin, 
children should be supervised when in use
& it may not be suitable for very young children. *
