Wind Socks

Catch Spring's cool breezes with a homemade wind sock.

Materials
• Markers
• Paint and brushes
• Crayons
• Glitter
• Construction paper
• Glue
• Crepe paper streamers
• String

Step 1:
Use markers, paints, or crayons to decorate a 6- by 18-inch strip of construction paper. Try making stars, flowers, or birthday candles, adding glitter, or giving the wind sock a face by gluing on paper cutouts of eyes, ears, a nose and a mouth.

Step 2:
Next, cut nine 26-inch-long crepe paper streamers and glue them to the back of the bottom edge of the paper.

Step 3:
Finally, knot a 30-inch piece of string at each end and staple the knots to the tube sides to make a handle.

Step 4:
Hang the wind sock on a porch or patio where it will be protected from strong winds and watch it ride the gentle breeze.
