Create It Yourself
Gather all the supplies needed to bring your craft ideas to life! From paints and markers to glue and scissors, our crafts section has everything to spark creativity and make every project truly special.
With Crayola® Scissors, cut a piece of construction paper into a square. Fold it diagonally in half (corner to corner). Open it back up and fold the paper diagonally across the other two corners. Open the paper to a flat square again. You should now have an X folded into the square.
Decorate all four sections of the paper on both sides. Use any colours and patterns you like with Crayola Crayons.
Cut the paper-starting at each corner-along the four fold lines. Stop cutting about a thumb's width away from the centre on each line. Gently bend the long point from each cut triangle across the centre.
In the centre where the points cross, poke a drawing pin (ask an adult for help) through all the paper and then into the dowel stick or pencil. OR poke a split pin paper fastener through the layers. Wrap the end of the paper fastener around a dowel stick or pen.
To start your pinwheels, turn the paper wheel around a few times to loosen it so it can spin. Then watch the colours dance as the breeze or your breath catches your creation. Adult assistance may be needed!
