  1. Firstly, paint the cardboard tube white, using a paintbrush. When the white base coat is dry paint it blue.
  2. For the land, paint irregular shapes with dark green paint using a sponge dabber. When the paint is dry, sponge light green paint on top of the dark green areas.
  3. Cut 3 lengths of blue crepe paper and 3 lengths of green crepe paper (2 cm width). Stick the crepe paper strips inside the bottom of the windsock using super tacky glue. Remember to alternate colours. For the handle, draw and cut a rectangle (2cm by 11cm) from green card. Stick the handle inside the top of the windsock. Repeat for the recycle windsock design. Hang outdoors!
