Crafts in the Courtyard: Twirligig

Stop by the Weezie Courtyard this morning and make this fun spinning toy!  You have probably heard of a whirligig before.  A Whirligig, by definition, is any kind of spinning toy or object.  In colonial times, they made whirligig toys out of buttons and string. This “Twirligig” spinner toy is made of strips of paper and a wooden skewer.  It twirls as it spins and makes all kinds of beautiful patterns. They are tons of fun to play with!

This program is made possible by a generous grant from the Nantucket Golf Club Foundation.
