The small "wings" of the maple seeds rotate wonderfully in the wind. That brought me to the idea of making a small wind game. You only need a thread and possibly a needle or a hot glue - and some time!

Relief in everyday life, targeted promotion of individual children, independent learning and - without any pre-knowledge already usable by the youngest!

Pick maple seeds from a tree!
They don't fall off the tree until autumn!
Separate the sperm wings individually and let them dry a little, otherwise a white milky liquid will come out and cause any stains.
The single maple seeds are now attached to a thread. This allows the maple seeds to rotate in the wind.
Cut a wool thread (can be a slightly thicker wool) to the desired length.
Make a small swab centered on the maple seeds with hot glue.
Place the wool thread over it and gently turn, then press the maple seed firmly onto the thread on an adhesive backing (e.g. a piece of cardboard or a plastic cutting board).
Attention: HEISS!
Careful work, kids shouldn't do it alone!
In this way, the maple seeds are glued to the length of the wool thread at the desired distance.
At the upper end of the thread, knot a loop for hanging.
Hang up so that the maple wind game can rotate. Since the mobile is very light, you can simply attach it with adhesive film.
Cut thread to the desired length.
Place the thread around the maple seed and make a knot.
Knead one seed at a time at the desired distance.
At the top, knot a loop to hang up.
Thread a thread into a pointed needle.
Stitch the maple seed with the needle through the one seed wing and thread back through the other seed wing.
Pull thread firmly and thread the next seed.
Hang up on a loop!
Tip: leave the short styles on the maple seeds for this variant, then it looks nicer when they turn in the air!
All three variants rotate wonderfully in the air!
Have fun trying it out!
