Hello friends of @steemiteducation, the education of our children is extremely important for us as parents and educators, this is why we always have to be in search of the best teaching or learning tools and strategies to teach and deliver the best possible education .

I am a lover of Crafts and this is why I want to present a series of educational strategies based on them, any child is interested in working with their hands, coloring, pasting, cutting, drawing, in short, having fun and what better way to do it than learning. Today we will make a spinning top with a Cd and we will enjoy the mix of colors, it will be super fun, educational and the children will love it.

So let's go!!

Let's make a spinning top with a CD and enjoy the mix of colors.

To experiment with colors, you do not really have to mix them. A top spinning at full speed will mix the colors for us. With a few homemade materials you can make a super spinning top for children to discover and enjoy with color and optical illusions.

Materials:

A CD that no longer works.

A marble

A plastic stopper

Hot melt gun. If you do not have a gun, you can use a good glue, for example an epoxy.

Paper and markers (markers) or colored pencils.

Rule and pencil to mark.

Scissors.

Glue or school use glue.

Procedure to make the colored circles:

With the help of the CD, draw a circle on the paper.

Use the rule to divide it into sectors.

Next, draw concentric circles. We made them with the eye but surely with a compass they are infinitely better.

Paint each of the stripes with the colors you want to mix.

Cut with scissors.

Have fun creating various designs.

Procedure to manufacture the spinning top:

Embed a marble in the center hole of the CD and secure with glue.

Paste your circle of colors on the CD, for the face on which the marble stands out less. Here you can use glue or school glue.

In order to be able to grasp the top more easily, stick the bottle cap in the center of the CD.

If you make interchangeable patterns you can try different designs without having to make a new spinning top. To do this, all you have to do is cut a hole in the center of the paper circle so that it fits the size of the stopper.

With the plugs on, they are ready to turn!

By rotating the colors of mix!

What happen?

When the spinning top spins we see a mixture of colors because at that speed our sense of sight is not able to perceive colors individually.

Crafts are always going to be a very useful tool to educate our children, through them we can transmit countless knowledge, in addition to developing many areas in the personality of our children, such as Creativity, attention and concentration, memorization, psychomotorism and additional increases self-esteem. There are many children's activities to do at home thanks to which you can have a good time with the little ones of the house, help them in their physical and mental development, make them have fun and improve communication between the family. Even make a everyday activity an educational resource! So encourage and dedicate a little time to our children and make educational crafts that will bring many benefits in addition to strengthening family ties.
