Making Pinwheels

Triple Wheel 24 Petal Flower Spinning Garden StakeLet's face it, pinwheels are fun to watch spin around, and fun to make spin. Adults and kids alike are Triple Wheel 24 Petal Flower Spinning Garden Stake transfixed with pinwheels, both big and small.

If you're looking to make your own pinwheel for fun- or for an educational activity- follow THIS LINK written by our Egghead for instructions on how to make a pinwheel appropriate for a 1st grade group of students. Of course, you could always just purchase several large novelty pinwheels and place them around your garden or near a fan- so see science and mathematics at work. Follow THIS LINK for a printable pattern you can use for your own pinwheels, adjustable to any size you want. Now THAT is FUN for all!
