Pinwheel Colour Spin

What You Need:

Child safety scissors

White construction paper

Red and blue markers

Plastic drinking straw

Hole punch

Paper fastener (adult supervision here)


What You Do:

1. Cut out a circle from white construction paper. Divide the circle into 12 wedges, like a pie. Colour one wedge blue, the next red, the next one blue, and so on (alternating the two colours).
   
   
2. Ask a grown up to poke a hole in the centre of the circle. Pinch the top of the straw flat. Punch a hole through the centre of the flattened part of the straw.
   
   
3. Ask a grown up to attach the coloured circle loosely to the straw with a paper fastener. Spin the circle. What new colours do you see?
