Instructions

bullet An adult needs to draw three 2" ovals. These may cut out by the child who can use scissors, or by an adult. 
  
bullet These ovals, which will be the two eyes and mouth, can then be glued approximately in the middle of the 18" white strip of paper.
  
bulletTurn the strip over and have the child begin to glue one end of each white streamer on the lower edge of the paper. (The part where the mouth is.) 
  
bullet Help the child space out the streamers. 
  
bullet When this is finished it should look like a flat strip of paper with fringe.
  
bulletNow adult or child put a thin line of glue on either outside end of 18"strip. 
  
bullet Bring the other end around to form a tube and glue ends together. 
  
bullet The glued ends should be approximately opposite the face, which should be in front. 
  
bullet At this point two holes can be punched on top edge and the string or yarn can be threaded through and each end tied, thus enabling one to hang the wind sock in the wind!
