Here's a quick project with lots of room for experimentation and exploration. Here's what you need:
* something to color/draw with (marker, pen, crayon, watercolor, whatever you have)
* paper (printer paper, cardstock, paper bag, whatever you have)
* scissors
* string or thin ribbon
* something to make circles with (compass, bowl, cup, lid, stencil ...)
* marker, pencil, or pen
Optional
* tape
* hole punch
Prepare your space:
* cover your work area
* have your materials within reach
* keep drinking water nearby
* music? light? whatever makes it your ideal creative workspace, do that!
The work:
* make a circle or many circles on your paper, cut those out
* decorate both sides of your circle
* draw a spiral on one side, starting at the center and winding out (optional move, you can also just go straight to cutting!)
* cut along the spiral line (or free cut to the center)
* optional: reinforce the center with a piece of tape
* punch or poke a hole in that center
* cut a length of string or ribbon
* put one end of the string through that center hole and double knot it
* hang it up!
Extensions:
* experiment with different sizes, different shapes
* play with a variety of materials for decorating your spinner
* incorporate a color lesson (primaries, secondaries, warms, cools, complementaries ...)
Have Fun! Be kind to yourself and each other.
