P.S. June's favorite things book is acrylic in Prussian Blue on regular paper taped together to document all the high contrast things she is noticing around our house...Christmas lights, her dad's mustache, the rocking chair back, a random wooden woodpecker.
P.P.S. The pinwheels were made by painting both sides of a single sheet of paper before following the tutorial below. I used weights (grapefruits I had on the table) to hold down the middle pieces until they dried. I then used a plaster nail to poke through the center and nail into the wall with enough space for them to stick out and (sort of) spin. You could use wrapping paper, cards from baby gifts or construction paper.
