2. If you would like to colour in the spinner, do that first. Then cut out the spinner top, the stand, the stand base. See the diagram below for an indication of where to cut.
3. Fold the pieces. Scoring the lines before you fold them is helpful. Use the diagram below to help with where to fold.

7. Place the spinner top onto the base. Make the top spin by blowing gently along the side of the top. It's easier if you hold the spinner in your hand. Have fun :)
