DIY Spinner Toy

DIY Spinner Toy

I used to make these when I was a kid.  You can use box board, cardboard, paper plate - even a button!


To make the Spinner just trace something round like a cup



*Cut the circles out.
(you may need to glue two circles together depending
on what you are making the spinner out of. I used a paper plate and glued 2 together)

*You need 2 holes in the center of the circle(s) for the string

*Color the circle(s)
*Loop the string through the holes and tie a knot. 
(measure string by stretching out both arms)



Wind up the string and pull to spin.
It takes a while to get going
Keep winding and spinning!
