Brighten up your day with a yellow, sunny pinwheel! Here’s what you need, to get started.
Materials: Orange and yellow colour paper, pencil with a rubber tip, bell pin, scissors, sketch pens, glue, scale
Steps:
1. For the sun, cut out a circle of about 4 cms in diameter from the orange coloured paper, and add details with a sketch pen.
2. Fold a square sheet of yellow paper (about 12 x 12 cms) in half, diagonally from both sides, such that the corners meet. Open it up and reveal the fold lines.
3. Use the sun cutout to trace a circle in the centre of the square sheet.
4. Draw designs (to show the sun rays) at the front and back, as shown.
5. Measure and cut from the corner along the diagonal folds on the square sheet of paper, stopping about 2 cms from the centre.
6. Fold the tight corner of each triangle and glue them to the centre as shown.
7. Pin the sun and the pinwheel to the rubber tip of the pencil using a bell pin. Blow at your pinwheel and watch the sun spin!
