YAY LETS MAKE WINDMILLS YEYEYEY!

You need:

And a couple of pushpins

Ready? OOKKK!

Step 1: Get a square piece of paper of any color, and draw 2 straight lines on it, like this:  
Step 2: Trace 4 diagonal lines from the  corners toward the centers, like this:
Step 3: Cut along each of the diagonal lines. Don’t cut farther than the lines you’ve traced. DO NOT cut the four straight lines.
 
Step 4: Label each line you just cut A, B, C, and D. Pin edges A, B, C and D to the center of the square. Make sure all four corners are overlapping. Then put the pushpin in he center. Yay! Windmills rule. Your finished windmill should look somethin' like this:

Does the windmill still work if we attach the finished windmill to a popsicle stick?

Yes, it works fine. As long as your paper and handle have some room between themselves on the pushpin, its ok. Just make sure you cover up any pointy-ends coming out of your handle from the pushpin!

I'm glad one of our assistants at the Blob Blog posted this! I just wanted to say, I did this craft a while ago for the Fourth of July, and I colored my paper red stripes, and blue stars. I thought that was a fun theme for celebrating the fourth! Anyways, I wanted to say that I attached mine to a straw, and my pushpin was too long. So, I cut my straw into small 1/2 inch bits, pushed a few onto the back until the pointy pushpin end was no longer visible or feel-able, and hot glued in place. Have fun making summer windmills!
