    (Ages 3-8)

    Colorful paper pinwheels whirl with just the slightest breeze (or puff!). They are fun to play with indoors or out, and even more fun to make! Create a DIY pinwheel, or two, for fun or to add a little flair to your next family gathering. For a Memorial Day barbecue, try red, white, and blue for your DIY pinwheel.
