Make a Windsock

Posted in Art

You'll Need:
Empty cardboard ice cream container
Colored construction paper
White glue
String
Crepe paper streamers
Hole punch
Scissors
Stapler


Thoroughly wash the ice cream container, then discard the top and cut out the bottom. Glue construction paper around the outside of the container. Cut strips of crepe paper streamers and attach them to one end of the container with
a stapler. Use the remaining paper to cut an glue decorations onto your windsock or use markers to color and decorate. Children may find it easier to decorate their paper before attaching it to the ice cream container. Use the hole punch
to make four holes evenly around the top of the windsock. Thread string through the holes and double knot.
Tie all four strands together at the top to make the hanger.
