The sparkling music of a wind chime can make even a grumpy grownup smile, and kids never fail to delight in fluttering banners, waving windsocks, and spinning whirligigs. Featuring more than 35 projects, Cindy Burda’s Wind Toys That Spin, Sing, Twirl and Whirl is filled with appealing designs that bring color and sound to your garden, yard, patio, or window. In addition to thorough step-by-step directions for every item, the introductory section explains the basics of working with each of the materials: fabric, metal, wood, polymer clay, glass, and potter’s clay. Windsocks sport butterflies and dragonflies. Wind vanes appear in the shape of flying pigs, trumpeting angels, and a winged Mercury. Banners are painted, batiked, and appliquéd. A collection of PVC pipes becomes a shape-shifter mobile. The assortment of imaginative ornaments here is meant for adults to create, but grownups and kids alike will enjoy the finished products. –Amy Handy
