Another easy craft I found on HighlightsKids.com.

In Oklahoma there are always lots of windy days, and as long as it is not too windy we like to sit outside and enjoy it. Make your backyard a little more entertaining on windy days with a fun windsock.

What you need:

short cardboard tube

hole punch

paint

yarn

ruler

scissors

How to Make It:

At one end of a short cardboard tube, punch two holes on opposite sides. This end will be the top of the windsock.

At the other end, punch holes a half-inch apart all the way around the tube.

Paint the tube. Let it dry.

For each hole in the bottom of the tube, cut a two-foot-long piece of yarn.

Fold each piece of yarn in half. Thread the folded end through a hole in the bottom of the tube. Thread the ends of the yarn through the folded end and pull, as shown.

Cut a two-foot-long piece of yarn as a hanger. Tie the ends to the holes in the top of the tube. Hang your windsock outside.

What will your windsock look like? Be sure to send us a link so we can see.
