I have a sure way of beating the heat on those super warm days [I say 'super warm' and not 'hot', because when it is truly hot the only thing for it is an air conditioned plaza, cinema or a dunk in the ocean.]. It is a do it yourself lady bird fan. This activity is great for the kids and for you. Simply follow this tutorial...
 |
| 1. Take two A4 pages: one red and one black. |
 |
| 2. Fold the black piece down 3 times. |
 |
| 3. Draw a circle onto the folded black piece, using a white pencil. |
 |
| 4. Cut into the paper around the drawn circle. You will have multiple circles from one cutting. |
 |
| 5. Gluedown the circles onto the red piece of paper. |
 |
| 6. Fold the red paper in a zig zag pattern, making the folded width roughly 15 mm. Do this for the entire piece of paper. |
 |
| 7. Sticky tape shut one end of the folded red paper. Opened out the open side and... Voila! You have yourself a paper crafted lady bird fan. |
