Twirly sticks

What we used:

Unsharpened pencil
thumbtack (I do recommend the ones with the flat tops, I didn't have any)
Strip of thin cardboard 1/2 inch x 12 inches
glue

What we did:

Cut the strip of cardboard. Place the thumbtack through the middle. Then stick it in the eraser and add a drop of glue. Twirl the pencil between your two hands and release. Watch as it flies through the air! For added fun, color your cardboard strip.
