Create a SPIRAL TWIRL MOBILE

Another FUN SUMMER ARTS AND CRAFTS Project

Here is one of our easy drawing ideas for kids to do at home or at school. It’s one of many easy crafts for kids to do during the summer break.

Fun summer crafts will happily occupy your children for hours.  Kids will learn and understand how to trace or draw a spiral onto a flat surface.  It’s an easy paper craft that demonstrates how a spiral can be made into a three-dimensional work of art.  The resulting craft mobile can then be hung up to create an eye-pleasing colorful mobile that will glitter in the sun.

EASY CRAFTS TO DO WITH KIDS

This spiral hanging craft mobile can be created by children as young as 4 to 5 years, if they are able to use scissors safely.
