How to Make a Paper Windsock

If you are in need of a craft for kids to do on a blustery day, look no further. A paper windsock comes together quickly and can provide entertainment for the little ones in your home. Make a paper windsock for every season of the year and fill an afternoon with crafting fun.

Things You'll Need

• Construction paper
• Crepe paper streamers
• Tape or glue
• Yarn or string

Instructions

1. Decorate a standard-sized sheet of construction paper, holding it so it faces horizontally (landscape orientation). For a holiday, choose festive-themed items to decorate your paper. You could also make a face on it for a goofy craft idea at any time of the year.

2. Roll the construction paper and tape the short ends together or attach them with a small bit of glue. The idea here is to make a cylinder from the construction paper, with the decorations facing the outside.

3. Tape or glue strips of crepe paper streamers to the inside of the tube, leaving them to stream down off the bottom. These will form the tails of your windsock.

4. Poke holes in the top of the tube and tie yarn through them for hanging. Display your windsock indoors near an open window or outdoors on your front porch.
