Wind Wheel

We make these maybe a couple of times each year.  A paper plate with the center cut out of it, some curling ribbon, crepe paper streamers and a stapler are all that you need to create this project. I cut out the strips of ribbon and streamer ahead of time because we also had a letter Yy worksheet to do.

The kids used markers to color their 'wheel".  I encouraged them to use several different colors to make them nice and bright.

Next step is to tie the curling ribbon onto the plate like the photo above.  Then (I forgot to take a photo, sorry..) grab a pile of crepe paper streamers and fold it over, place it on the wheel and staple several times to keep them in place.

 Then test it out while the kids are staring longingly... they are fun for grown ups, too!  Swirl it around watching the streamers whip around, it's highly entertaining.

Well, ok.  You can have your art, now. LOL

We love our wind wheels because they only work if you create wind for them to flutter in!  Happy Tuesday!♥♥♥

Song for today is Footloose by Kenny Loggins.  Adam was dancing around our house last night to this.  I can always count on him to surprise me.♫
