Step by Step Instructions to Make a Penny Spinner:
1. Draw a circle on a paper plate using a round lid and then cut it using the scissors.
2. Then, draw circle of same size as of paper plate circle on a construction paper and cut it.
3. Now, paste the construction paper circles on the paper plate circles.
4. Using the crayola marker, make some fun patterns on the circles.
5. Using the ruler, draw a mark in the center of the circle and make a small cut on that mark using scissors. Take help from adult so that you don’t cut your hand. Also, keep the cut smaller than the size of penny so that the coin fits tight in the cut.
