Wind Spinners

ages 4-6

Supplies

Acrylic paints, clean and dry two-liter plastic soda bottle with label removed, scissors or craft knife, fishing swivel, heavy duty string

Activity Detail

To get ready for the activity, begin by cutting the top and bottom off an empty and clean two-liter bottle. Then, help your child to paint bright slanted stripes in alternating colors. Allow paint to dry. Once the paint has dried, cut the painted plastic tube into a spiral. Trim the end so that is squared, then use a hole punch to make a hole for hanging. Hook a fishing swivel through the hole, then hang your wind spinner outside using heavy duty string. Kids love watching the Wind Spinner twirl around.
