Breezy Windsock
Catch indoor breezes with a colorful windsock! Whether you’re learning about Japan, weather, or aviation, Crayola® Twistables™ give windsocks a new twist.
1. We call moving air the wind. You cannot see wind but you know the air is moving when your windsock twists and turns or you see clouds scurry across the sky. Find out about windy weather and how windsocks began. Learn how they are used in aviation.
2. To make a colorful indoor windsock, use Crayola Twistables and your imagination to decorate one sheet of paper for the top. Highlight details with Crayola Glitter Glue. Air-dry your windsock.
3. To form streamers, color another piece of paper with Twistables. With Crayola Scissors, cut long strips, leaving them connected at one end. Decorate the strips with Glitter Glue and air-dry them, too.
4. Run a line of Crayola School Glue along the connected end of the streamers. Press it to the bottom of your windsock. Air-dry the glue.
5. Glue the open paper edges to form your windsock. Air-dry it.
6. Punch two holes at the top of the windsock. Run ribbon, string, or yarn through the openings. Tie together to hang your windsock to catch indoor breezes.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Glitter Glue—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
