It’s super windy here today so I found a craft that we could do to celebrate the wind. Paper pinwheels are easy to make and fun for the kids.

What you’ll need:

  • Square paper 5 x 5  inches
  • Ruler
  • Pen
  • Glue stick
  • Sewing pin
  • Soft stick (or a pencil)

Watch the YouTube video for easy to follow video instructions:

My kids love pinwheels and I remember fondly playing with them as a child too.

What is your favourite windy day craft activity?

  • The idea is lovely, but I find too that the pin is dangerous and not much secured. The tip of a pin is not easy to bend over but breaks quickly.

  • Always wondered how to make these – thanks for sharing. I would have to bend the tip of the pin over so no one got hurt or scratched with it though.

  • I first loved the idea, so I watched the video. I found it actually dangerous, in no time a young child can pull the pin and hurt himself.

  • Flying a kite would be my number 1 windy day event. I enjoyed pin wheels too. I have to ask, do these home made pin wheels spin?
