Directions here. (Make sure you check out her entire unit study on China, which we are using for lots of great ideas!)
I gave each child a page of paper to decorate, and then we taped them together to make the needed length for the fan. One change I made was to use light cardstock (110 lb. weight) instead of regular printer paper. It made for a much sturdier fan.
Were I to do this project again, another change I would make would be to trim the fan to a slightly smaller size - perhaps six inches high rather than seven. Because the popsicle sticks weren't long enough to support the entire fan, it had a tendency to buckle in the middle if one was not careful.
However, it works beautifully as-is, and it's been a great hit with the kids!
We also used it as decoration at our Chinese New Year feast!
Enjoy!
