Paper Spinners
Hi everyone, it’s Friday which means it is Fun Friday time, our last one to do at home before you are all back in school 😊
Today we are going to make paper spinners. Here is a list of things you will need.
String, thin rope or wool.
Cardboard for your circle (you could use a cereal box if an adult at home says it is ok)
Paper (you will be cutting out 2 circles)
Colouring pens, pencils or paint. I think pens would be best but use what you have.
Scissors
Glue
Step 1.
Use a cup or plastic glass or anything else round to help you draw 2 circles on your paper. You do not want them to be too big, keep them about the size of a can of beans.
Step 2.
Colour your circles adding lots of different colours, the more colourful the more fun it is when it spins 😉
Step 3.
Cut out your circles, ask an adult for help if you need help.
Step 4.
Use the same cup, can of beans or whatever you used for your circles and cut out 1 circle from your cardboard.
Step 5.
Glue on your paper circles to your cardboard, (one on each side).
Step 6.
Poke two small holes in centre of the cardboard circle.
Step 7.
Take a piece of string, wool or thin rope about 70cm long and put it through the 2 holes. Tie a knot so that your string stays in place.
TIME TO PLAY WITH YOUR SPINNER!
Take a piece of string in each hand with the circle in the middle and go in circles to get the string twisted. Now you pull by gently moving your hands out to the side then bring them back towards the middle again. Keep doing this motion and watch your spinner go round and round, if you are doing it right your spinner will make a humming sound!!
I look forward to seeing your designs. Have fun everyone and have a great weekend.
