Gandhi Charkha (3-5 yrs)
This activity contains:
6 ice cream sticks
1 long thread
What you need to keep while doing this:
Glue
Here’s how you make it:
STEP 1:
Take an ice cream stick and place it vertically. Paste 1 ice cream stick horizontally in the middle of that vertical stick forming a “+” sign.
STEP 2:
Now make an “X” with ice cream sticks on the centre of the “+” sign, making an “asterisk” symbol – * (as shown in the picture).
STEP 3:
Paste 2 ice cream sticks adjacent to each other horizontally and stick this from one end of the “*” (as shown in the picture).
STEP 4:
Now paste one end of the thread to one stick of the “asterisk”. Keep pasting the thread to the corners of all the ice cream sticks, in a circular form. Paste the other end of the thread to the last horizontally placed stick (as shown in the picture).
The Charkha is ready.
