Supplies Needed for Wind Sock Craft
- 12 by 18 inch construction paper, white.
- Red, white, and blue star stickers.
- Red, white, and blue crepe paper (cut into 12 inch strips).
- White ribbon
- Tape
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.
