Perfect for parades or playing outside, this patriotic pinwheel is simple to make:<\/p>\n
Materials Needed:
• 2 square pieces of construction paper
• Scissors
• Hole punch
• Push-pin
• Un-sharpened pencil with an eraser
• Markers or crayons<\/p>\n
Instructions:
1.\tPlace the two pieces of paper together and fold diagonally once, so the papers resemble a triangle, and then again. Unfold the paper. <\/p>\n
2.\tDecorate one side of each sheet of paper to your liking. You can also decorate with stickers or stars for a patriotic effect. <\/p>\n
3.\tPut the undecorated sides together, and then make four cuts along the fold lines of the four corners. The cuts should go about halfway up the paper. <\/p>\n
4.\tPunch four holes in the pinwheel at each corner, being careful not to punch into the cut lines. <\/p>\n
5.\tGently gather each of the four points with a hole to the center of the paper. Press the push-pin into the four gathered corners, to attach the pinwheel to the pencil’s eraser. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
