Create Your Own Rainbow Windsock for Spring
Spring is the season of colorful skies and breezy days, making it the perfect time for a fun and simple craft! A rainbow windsock is easy for young children to create and adds a cheerful splash of color to any yard or porch. Here’s how to make your own!
Supplies You’ll Need:

How to Make It:
- Decorate the Tube: Wrap your cardboard tube with construction paper or paint it with bright, happy colors. Let it dry if painted.

- Punch the Holes: Punch two holes near the top (opposite sides) of the tube.
- Add the Hanger: Thread a piece of string or yarn through the holes and tie knots to secure it. This will be how you hang your windsock.
- Hang and Enjoy: Hang your beautiful rainbow windsock outside where the breeze can catch it and watch it dance in the wind!
