Homemade Fidget Spinner
Make a fidget spinner using just a few simple materials! This homemade fidget spinner is made from wood bow ties and painted in the colors of your choice. This is a fantastic craft to do at a birthday party because kids can all paint their fidget spinners in whatever colors they like. It would also be a fun summer camp activity, or simply a rainy day craft to do with you and the kids. You'll definitely need to supervise because this project does require the use of a drill, but kids will enjoy the fun part of painting the wood bow ties, and of course playing with the fidget spinners for the weeks to come.
