Directions to Make a Windsock Out of Paper
Step 1
After gathering the supplies, invite your child to decorate their paper with star stickers.
Variation: Invite your child to color stars and stripes with markers instead of using stickers.
Step 2
Flip the paper over, then tape red, white, and blue streamers to the back.
Step 3
Pull the paper together into a cylinder shape with the stars facing the outside.
Tape down the “seam” of the windsock, reinforcing the edges with extra tape.
Step 4
Last, tape a ribbon to the inside of the paper windsock so your child can hold it.
We hung our patriotic paper windsocks on the pergola and patio.
They looked perfect for our celebration and the kids had a blast with them!
