When Isolde and I tried to use a fidget spinner for the spinner on our project it did not work very well. Then we tried plastic spoons. It worked so much better than the fidget spinner did any day!

Supplies

1 metal bottle cap

6 Popsicle sticks

1 aluminum can

2 alligator clips

2, 2 inch nails

2 pairs of scissors

1 hot glue gun

5 hot glue sticks

lots of straws

1 plastic bottle

plastic spoons

Saw the Wood

we used a big saw to cut the wooood for our base of our project

Glue straws to the bottom of the base.

Cut the top of an empty water bottle and glue it to the top of the base.

Glue two small pieces of cardboard together. Glue those on top of the cut water bottle

To make the cardboard more stable, glue two paper towel rolls in each side of the water bottle.


To create the wheel:

Glue two popsicle sticks together. Do this 6 times so you have 12 sets.

Then, glue a spoon onto each set.

Glue these onto a wooden circle in bullseye shape (sort of).


Add the Suplise on Top
