Step 1Print the Poppy Spin Card template onto cardboard. This will provide a sturdy surface for decoration and construction. Decorate the template using coloured pencils or markers.
Step 2Cut out the template pieces following the thick black outlines. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Cut along the dotted line on the circle piece. Cut the dotted line within the poppy to create a slit – be sure not to cut all the way to the edge on this piece!
Step 3Take the circle and start to thread the end into the slit of the poppy from the front in an anticlockwise direction.
Step 4Continue to feed it into the slit until only a small tab remains sticking out, as shown. Use a glue stick to attach the longer tab piece in line with the edge, so that it hangs out over the side of both the circle and the poppy. Allow the glue to dry.
Step 5Holding the edge of the poppy, spin the tab clockwise to reveal the ‘Lest We Forget’ message. Stop just before you complete a full circle, so the end remains inside the slit. Flip the poppy over and glue the small tab piece onto the wedge of circle you can still see. Allow the glue to dry. This will prevent the circle from slipping out of the poppy.
Step 6Flip the poppy back over so the design faces upwards. Spin the circle back behind the poppy. Your Poppy Spin Card is now ready to spin out and in again to reveal the message!
You may wish to add an extra message or the date of ANZAC Day or Remembrance Day onto the front tab using permanent pen. You could also get creative and add other elements to the design to make it your own.
