paper pinwheel

Breath-powered yard ornament

A paper pinwheel is a simple toy made from a square of paper folded and pinned to a stick so that it spins when blown on or caught by the wind.

Children make them as crafts, and they appear as decorations at parties and in gardens: The kids made paper pinwheels at the birthday party.
