2- MAKE A PAPER PINWHEEL


Teaching our nation’s heritage comes alive with age-appropriate Fourth of July activities like this one. In this Fourth of July craft, kids will have fun learning how to make pinwheels, and they’ll gain plenty of educational skills besides!

  • First choose what you want to make your pinwheel craft from: either 5″ Metallic Foil Board Squares or Paper Squares.
  • Decorate the squares of your choice, using star stickers and/ or markers. For the Metallic Foil Board, decorate both sides. For Paper Squares, decorate one side of each Square and then glue together the two undecorated sides.
  • Using a ruler as a guide, draw 2 diagonal lines with pencil, to form an “x”- connecting the opposite corners.
  • Begin cutting on the lines from each of the 4 corners, ending 1 inch before the center point. You now have 4 triangles.
  • Bring the right point of each triangle to the center point and staple them down. You may need more than one staple to hold them all in place.
  • Push the thumbtack or pin through the center of the pinwheel craft, and then into the eraser of the unsharpened pencil.

Blow your pinwheel and watch it spin!
