Keep the kids from getting agitated in the summer heat by helping them put together this adorable craft. We absolutely love these cute and colourful paper fans from Mr Printables that will allow your little ones to stay calm and cool while outside.

This DIY project requires only a few materials, which you are likely to already have. The website provides three templates of silly faces to choose from, making this craft doable and fun for kids of any age.

What you’ll need:
• Papers
• Wooden dolly pegs
• String or yarn

The templates and full instructions for this craft can be found on Mr Printables. If kids want to get a bit more creative, they can use blank paper to draw their own faces or designs for their fan. With bright colours and silly facial expressions, these DIY cool-down devices are sure to keep kids smiling through the hot summer weather.
