Tools and Materials:
- 6"x6" square of construction paper
- Pencil with eraser
- Pushpin
- Ruler
- Scissors
Step 1
Gather the materials listed above.
Step 2
Fold the construction paper corner to corner.
Step 3
Fold it corner to corner again.
Step 4
Unfold. Your square should have four folds in it, as in the picture.
Step 5
Cut slits along the folded lines about halfway to the center of the paper.
Step 6
Insert pushpin into tip of one corner. Fold every other corner into the center, using the pushpin to gather each tip as you go.
Step 7
Push the pushpin into the center of the pinwheel.
Step 8
Push the pushpin into the side of the pencil eraser. Be careful not to push the pushpin out the other side of the eraser.
Step 9
Blow on your pinwheel and watch it spin!
Use caution if small children are making this project. I recommend safety scissors and adult supervision while making this craft.
Pinwheel is not for children 3 years and under. The pushpin could pose a choking hazard!
