I love pinwheels that you can pop in your planters to add some kid made pizzaz! They are simple to make but be prepared to help young kids when they are pining the corners down.

You will need some paper, a big milkshake straw, a large brad, hole punch.scissors and anything you want to use to decorate the pinwheel.

Start by coloring the paper, it's hard to see in the picture but the paper is colored all over.

Flip your paper over. Make lines from the corners into the center. Add dots on one side of the lines. Punch holes in them. Cut along the lines.

Punch a hole through the straw.

Thread the brad through all the holes then the straw and secure it.

Pop it in your planter!
