Here is an idea for making a toy out of recycled paper, perfect to be enjoyed with young children. You can play together with nieces and nephews with this paper toy and create fun memories.
Are you a teacher? Have your students make one, and they will have fun while you can review some basic geometry vocabulary.
Here is how to make an easy origami spinner:
- Find some colorful paper from an old magazine.
- Cut it into 6-inch squares.
- Reinforce the center by adding a short piece of adhesive tape.
- Fold it into a water bomb (see video below).
- Stick a bamboo skewer through its hole.
- Blow on it and make it spin.
This is a good alternative to filling the water bomb with water and blasting someone on a hot summer day!
Do you have any other ideas on different uses for the water bomb? Please share with us in the comments.

When I teach this model to children, there will often be one or two who pinch the sides to make a cube out of it.
—– The Windmill or Pinwheel model would also be good made from magazine or calendar pages. In fact old calendar pages, if they aren’t too heavy-weight, make great folding paper. They make a sturdy model that makes a nice pin or clip, and beautiful colors, too!
