Take up a wind wand
to frolick and dance, prance and play
Fly it through wind gusts, through starshine and day 
Take up a wind wand
Adventures await,

stories will find you and take you away  

For this craft you need:
~A stick that is shorter than your child's arm(enjoy the measurement process. It will include figuring out how to break a stick) 
~Colorful long ribbons or thin strips of light fabric (3-6 strands)
~Wire or twine (tape is optional)

1. Collect all the ribbon or fabric pieces together evenly on one end.
2. Tightly wrap the ends of the ribbon together with small gauge wire or twine and tie off so the bundle will not come undone. 
3. Attached the end of the ribbon bundle to the end of the stick by wrapping wire or twine around bundle and stick many times until secure. 
4. Twist or tie off wire or twine. (if you use wire, make sure any sharp ends are cut tightly and tucked under)
5. Use a strong tape to secure the bundle if needed. 

Once completed, use wind wand outdoors in any weather.
Add live or recorded music, costumes and magic!! 
 
*Pro tip: When not in use, wind wands can be stuck in the ground or fastened to the porch railing for observation out the window. Wind wands need to be outside where they wait for old mother wind, brother wind and the merry little breezes to play with.
