Paper Whirlybird



Measure and mark a 5 x 11 inch section on a piece of heavy paper, such as card stock or construction paper. Cut out

Mark the center of your paper and cut a 5" slit length wise down the center. Mark edges at end of slit on opposite sides. cut a 1 1/2 inch slit from each edge at the marks



  • Fold in the sides below the slits toward the center; they will overlap.
  • Tape the two folded edges together
  • Decorate top flaps with colored stickers, or color
  • Fold the bottom edge up twice (1 inch at a time)
  • fasten with paper clips
  • Fold one flap toward you and  the other away from you

Throw whirly bird straight up in the air to make it fly downward
