 You will need:

• Thick string like twine or yarn

Instructions:

Step 1: Cut two circles out of plain paper (about 2 inches in diameter).

Step 2: Color the circles any way you would like.

Step 3: Use one circle to trace onto cardboard and cut it out.

Step 4: Glue the colorful paper onto either side of the cardboard circle.

Step 5: Using something like a pen or pencil, poke two holes in the center of the circle.

Step 6: Take a strand of twine or yarn, around 30 inches long, and put it through either hole. Tie a knot.

Step 7: Hold either end of the yarn in your hands and move your hands in small circles to twist the twine.

Step 8: Gently pull the yarn apart using either hand at the same time, then relax your hands. The spinner will turn!
