Start out by cutting two identical squares from paper. 2. You can leave the squares plain or colour and draw some patterns or designs. 3. Glue the undecorated sides of the squares together. Remember to apply glue not just along the edges, but on the entire back area of the squares. 4. Draw diagonal lines on the square going from corner to corner. 5. Cut along the 4 diagonal lines halfway to the centre. 6. Gather the four corners towards the centre without creasing the paper. You may glue the ends in place or just hold them together with your hand as you do the next step. 7. Insert a push pin at the centre. The push pin should hold all four ends together. Wiggle the push pin around to make the hole a bit larger. 8. Push the pin onto a pencil’s eraser. Don’t push on too tight to allow the pinwheel to spin more freely. 9. As an option, you may put a bead or small button between the paper and the eraser. This helps the pinwheel rotate better and prevents the pin’s point from going through the other side of the eraser. 10. Finally, try blowing at the edges of the pinwheel to make it spin. Loosen the pin a bit if the blades do not rotate well. Enjoy! 62 JEWISH LIFE QISSUE 87 BUSY BRAIN MAZE INSTRUCTIONS: Hel
