Make a Paper Fan

by Erinn

fan.jpg

Remember making fans in class when it was hot inside your classroom? I do and I can’t wait to teach my kids.

Take a piece of colored construction paper and let your kids draw on both side of the paper. Then on the longer end, fold the paper back and forth in one inch folds.

A variation of the fan is made with paint sample cards.

You will need :
paint sample cards from a home improvement store
hole punch
yarn or string
paper fastener

-Punch a hole in the center of the bottom on the cards and at the top
-Place the paper fastener at the bottom of the cards
-Lace the yarn or string through the top of the cards to form a fan.
