Summer Project 5: Wind Chimes

I love wind chimes!  I have two at my house - one made of seashells and another made of bamboo.  Here is an interesting way to make a wind chime out of some things you might have around your house.

You will need: 
Scissors
Paper plate
Plastic dinner-ware (spoons, forks and/or knives)
Sharp pencil
String or yarn

Directions:
1.  Cut the string or yarn in a few different lengths.
2.  Tie the string or yarn to the end of the cutlery (the plastic dinner-ware).
3.  Poke holes in the paper plate.  Put the string or yarn through and tie a knot in each piece.
4.  Fasten three pieces of string to the top of the plate.
5.  Decorate the paper plate with crayons, markers, pencil or paint!!
6.  Ask an adult to help you hand the wind chime!
