Playing with Pinwheels

Last Sunday I made a pinwheel as part of an object lesson for my Primary class. After church, we let Austin play with it. We tried to show him how to blow on it, or how to hold it while spinning in a circle to make it spin.

He thought it was so much fun, even though he couldn't figure out how to make it spin himself. He tried spinning in a circle, blowing on it, and sticking it next to the heat vent.

Later during the week, we took the pinwheel outside where Austin had more success getting the pinwheel to spin with the help of a slight breeze.
