Whirlygig

Materials: String, a scrap of heavy recycled cardboard, glue stick, scissors, kitchen skewer, pre-cut circles, markers 

Have children draw a design on 2 pre-cut circles using lots of colors. Glue one piece onto your recycled cardboard scrap, cut around it with the scissors, and then glue the second pattern onto the reverse. Teachers poke two small holes in the whirlygig with the kitchen skewer and thread the string through, tying in a knot once done. That’s all! Now just twirl and whirl.
