Make a Windsock for Children

Children love to create and use their imaginations. Here is a project that any kid, and any kid at heart would love.

Steps

Choose the color construction paper, and tissue paper that you want.
Allow children to draw, color, and add stickers to their sheet of paper.
Roll the paper up, end to end, then tape, glue, or staple them together.
Cut tissue paper in long strips, and glue around the bottom inside of the windsock.
Punch two holes in the top of the windsock, directly across from each other.
Feed yarn, wire or string through the punched holes, and tie a knot at the end.
Hang and enjoy!

Use a cleaned out can (soup, vegetables, or coffee can).Using a bottle opener, make two holes in top of can. The holes should be directly across from each other.
Paint it in your desired colors,using acrylic paint. Then paint a coat of varnish over the painted areas of the can.
Let completely dry.
Cut long strips from a plastic grocery bag, then adhere to bottom inside of can, using a strong glue.
Thread wire, yarn, or rope through the holes, then hang in your yard, or a child's bedroom.

Be creative. There are many items to use to decorate the windsocks. Stickers, hole punches in different shapes, beads, gems, paint, markers, newspaper, it's endless!
If making the paper version, be aware that it won't hold up in rainy weather.
You can use acrylic paints on the can, and an inexpensive varnish, like the one that Delta has.(Found at craft stores, and Walmart)

Lay newspaper down on your work surface, prior to starting your project.
Wear gloves while painting, varnishing, and gluing.
Adult supervision is needed for these projects, as scissors and a bottle opener needs to be used.
