Watch the entire video before trying to make these.
For younger kids, skip the first (red) sheet of paper in the video above and start with the second (pink) sheet. The pink and yellow sheets can combine into a working spinner. Skipping the first sheet of paper makes the entire project a lot easier!
Remember, you can pause and rewind the video as needed.
Go slowly and make your folds line up as much as possible.
