PIN WHEEL

2 different colors of lightweight paper,
Scissors,
Small nail,
Hammer,
12-inch wood dowel with 1/4 diameter.

Cut an 8-inch square from 2 pieces of paper using different colors. Place the squares on top of each other. Cut a line 4 inches long from each corner toward the center. With an adult's help, use the nail to poke a hole in each corner and in the center of the combined squares. Fold the corners in to the center of the square, lining up the holes on top of each other. Place the pinwheel over one end of the wood dowel. Have an adult help with using a hammer to tap the nail through the holds into the dowel. Take your pinwheel outside and watch it spin in the wind!
