How to Make a Whirligig



(SEE VIDEO BELOW OF WHIRLIGIG DEMO!!!)

In colonial days children would make their own toys to play with. Whirligigs are fun to play with and easy to make. This is how we did it:










First: Trace two circles the same size on hard paper




Second: Cut out the circles with scissors.




Third: Glue them together.




Fourth: Make cool designs on both sides of the circle.




Fifth: Make two holes in the center of the circle.




Sixth: Put a string through the holes and tie the two ends together

  2. Dear Zacharia,
    I think you have started a whole new toy craze around Parkside. The grown ups seem to love them too. I think they are calming and fun. DO you think one of your fellow Colonists would make me one to keep in my office?
    Love,
    Ms. Thorne

  3. We'll get right on it Ms. Thorne. Maybe when upset children come into your office playing with the whirligig can help calm them down. Tell us how it works
