Nyamka made these fantastic windmills and we tested them out on the school roof garden. We had great fun! 

To make the windmill you will need: 

  • A square piece of paper
  • A scissors
  • Glue
  • Blue Tac
  • Thumb Tac 
  • A Straw

Here are the instructions: 

  • First fold the paper to the opposite corner (to make a triangle). 
  • Open up the paper again. Then fold the other corners together. 
  • Open up the paper once more. 
  • Cut along the four  lines from the corners halfway into the centre of the page. 
  • Bend (but do not fold flat) every second corner into the centre point and stick it with some glue. 
  • Push the thumb tac through the centre point and through a straw at the back (which will be the handle). 
  • For safety and to hold everything secure, put some blue tac on the sharp point of the thumb tac at the back. 
  • Go outside and see your windmill work! Magic!
