A
simple-to-make pinwheel for older children. (This craft
uses a push-pin, so it is not suitable for younger
children.)
|

needed:
- 2
pieces of construction paper (the thicker
the better)
- Scissors
- A
hole punch
- A
push-pin
- A
pencil with an eraser
- Markers

|
Start by
making two square pieces of paper.To start making a
square, put the two pieces of paper together. Fold the
corner of the pieces of paper over as shown.
|
|
|
To finish
making the squares, cut off the small rectangles,
forming two squares (which are already folded into a
triangle).
|
|
|
|
Fold the
triangle in half.
Unfold
the paper.
|
|
|
Decorate
one side of each sheet of paper.
|
|
|
Put the
undecorated sides of the paper together.
Make
four cuts along the fold lines - about halfway to the
center
|
|
|
Punch four
holes in the pinwheel, one at each corner
|
|
|
Gently gather
each of the four points (with a hole) to the center. (Be
careful not to crease the paper.)
Push a
push-pin through the four punched holes through the center of
the pinwheel to attach the pinwheel to the side of a pencil's
eraser.
