For making the propeller you will need two plastic spoons, a straw, a toothpick and a piece of rubber. Make two holes in the rubber with a pointed scissors. Insert a toothpick at right angles as shown. Then insert the two spoons at two ends of the rubber. Tilt the spoons in opposite directions so that they become like fan blades. Place the toothpick in a plastic straw. Hold the straw in your hand and bring it under a ceiling fan. The spoon propeller will catch the breeze and start spinning. This is a low-cost dynamic, spinning toy.
