Today we have found the craft that any body would love. Puppies! Thank you Maggy from Red Ted Art, DIY Paper Spinner. Not only were they super fun to make.. but they provide a great STEAM activity for anyone learning about colour theory. It is simply so MAGICAL to see colour theory in action RIGHT BEFOR YOUR EYES.
We made a set of plain spinners (for the kids to colour themselves and to experiment with colours, patterns and designs), but also a set of PRINTABLES! The printables are particularly useful for a classroom setting or if you have LESS TIME, but still want to make this easy paper toy. But I do encourage you to go freestyle, use a plate as a stencil and have fun!
Optional – your free templates

Either watch this simple video or read the written instructions below!
We also made an emoji spinner version
Have a go at spinning!!
The kids also had great fun designing their own spinners. They started off with “plain sections” and then looked at what happened when they added red dots and blue zig zags. I think we love these ones best! But they take more time to make as you need time for decorating!
At first it is tricky to get the spin going.. but keep practicing and it will get easier. Once the spin is going, you can relax your hands a little, this will allow for the spinner to “reload in reverse” and keep going!!!!
ENJOY!

Diagonal
Take a square piece of paper and fold it across the diagonal. Open it up and fold it again in the opposite direction – you want that diagonal crease to go in both direction and be extra sharpe=.
Kite shape
Open up the square again. Take one edge and bring it to meet the diagonal central line. Repeat with the other side – you should now have a kite shape.
Body shape
Fold down the top point to meet the central line. Then fold in half.
The tail
Take the long thing tip and fold up at a right angle. Give it a sharp crease.
Open up the origami and fold into the opposit direction.

Today we have found the craft that any body would love. Puppies! Thank you Maggy from Red Ted Art You know we adore easy Paper Crafts for kids, right? Well, we have a super duper special and EASY Bird Finger Puppet Origami project for you. These are so easy, and so fun to turn into doodle birds, that you will wonder **where** they have been all your life! So fun.
They make a great addition to our Easy Origami Projects for kids, as well as Paper Puppet collection!
No scissors. No glue!!
Yep can you believe it, this craft really requires no glue or scissors (well apart from having to cut down paper to a square, but that can be achieved with careful tearing too!).
Do watch our easy to follow Bird Finger Puppet video. I always find video instructions sooo much easier to follow.
But have also invluded step by step written instructions below!
This written instructions also include some step photos, which I hope will help you make this cute little Finger Puppet!
As you can see from the images below, I really did use the paper from my recycling bin! It is a great way to upcycle and still have fun.
Begin my making a square piece of paper. Fold the A4 sheet of paper in half.
Bring one corner up to the central fold. Cut that “triangle” out. When you fold it open again you will have a square.
Fold your square across the diagonal (again) to make a triangle and a nice diagonal crease.
Open up.
Bring one flat edge of the square to align with this central diagonal and start forming a “Kite shape”. Repeat with the other side.
Fold your paper along the diagonal again (so your other fold are on the inside).
You now have one long edge. And two short ones. Fold the long edge in half to find the mid way point and pinch as a “marker” (bottom left photo).
Open again.
Fold up the short edge to make a crease (the video shows this really well- or look at the dashed line in the image!) -(bottom right photo).
Folding the paper down (top left photo).
And then back up (top right photo).
Now wrap the paper around itself and “tuck in”.
One side will show the “folds and tuck”. This is the “rough side” (but can of course still get decorated).
Flip over and you get a “neat” side – this is the side that is easier/ more fun to decorate!
Your basic bird is finished.
Be as creative as you like! Invent your own birds or google your favourite types of bird and be inspired by their beaks and plumage. Maybe you can make some parrots, some parakeets, some puffins and more?!
If you want the “Neat” side to point the other way, make the folds in the other direction.
Now it is time to have fun with decorating!! Use lots of colours and have fun.
