Mindware Make Your Own Ladybug or Dragonfly Wind Spinner Wood Craft Kit
(Mindware $24.95 each)
Here’s are two craft kits for the garden or flowerbox; choose your favorite--the Dragonfly or Ladybug, or if you have a big garden choose both. The big eyes and whirly wings may just keep bunnies away from your flowers (sorry, no guarantees.) Each kit comes with all the solid wood, precut pieces, paint and brushes, glue and metal display rods. Kids will need to read assembly directions and use fine motor skills to paint and then assemble the wind spinner. It comes with plenty of paints, and a variety of brushes to decorate the spinner. This is a craft kit that combines, reading, science, and art in one. They also need to follow the directions, paint first and allow it to dry before proceeding to the assembling. All these steps call for patience as well as skill and creative choices. There’s a good chance this is a kit that will need an adult assist. What they end up with is a one-of-a-kind functional wind spinner that can be displayed in the garden or flowerbox. Makes a nice gift kids can put together and give to a family member who gardens or put in their own yard. 8 and up.
