Make A Chinese Fan For Children

Fans keep you cool in warm weather and crowded auditoriums. You can help children create their own Chinese fan that they can carry around with them for those times they get hot. They can decorate the fan with their own design. Help them make Chinese fans to give as gifts to family and friends.


Instructions


1. Decorate one side of the sheet of printer paper with crayons. Draw several smaller pictures or decorate the paper with one large scene.


2. Make a series of back and forth folds every 3/4 of an inch along the length of the paper.








3. Press the accordion-folded paper together and wrap tape around the bottom inch of the paper.


4. Use craft glue to attach jumbo craft sticks to the last fold on each end of the fan. Position the end of the jumbo craft stick just above the tape.
