CIY Staff Tips:
- You can trace any large circular object you have available; we used an empty coffee tin.
- Try designing your spinner with other art tools like Crayola Crayons or Crayola Washable Paint!
Steps:
1
For each Paper Spinner, trace 2 circles around the bottom of a large circular object onto construction paper.
2
Draw designs inside the circles with markers and coloured pencils.
3
Cut out circles with scissors.
4
Place a circle onto a piece of scrap cardboard and trace.
5
Ask an adult to help cut out the cardboard disc.
6
Attach a circle to each side of the cardboard disc with glue stick.
7
Ask an adult to make two holes in the center of the cardboard disc, about 1/2" apart.
8
Cut a piece of string approximately 30” long.
9
Thread string ends through the holes in the cardboard disc. Tie together.
10
Center the disc on the string. Hold the ends and “flip” the disc repeatedly (like a jump rope) to wind up the spinner. Quickly stretch the string to watch it swirl and twirl!
