How to make a spinner from Lego

Almost everyone heard about a sudden trend in children around the world - a spinner toy. This straightforward item looks like a triangular rotating plate on a small substrate, which you need to hold your hands. Initially, the spinner was created for children with a shortage of attention and herald, as well as for patients with autism, so that the kids learn to concentrate their attention on certain things faster. It is noteworthy that the design is developed by an ordinary American woman who raises a son. However, such an interesting and entertaining thing quickly spread around the world and attracted all the children. Now Spinner is constructed from wood, metal, stones, diode elements and other materials. An interesting solution will be the creation of a toy from the LEGO designer - this is doubly exciting.

1
First you need to find suitable details from the LEGO designer. These include:

  • Two identical flat circles, it is desirable that they be the same color, as this will make the spinner the same above and below.
  • One circle is larger.
  • Eight rectangular parts from the designer. The most beautiful when every two new color.
  • Four square details, each different colors.
  • Three small circles a single width for attachment.
  • A stick from a designer on which everything will be fixed.

You can find all these details in special LEGO spinners sets, which are already sold everywhere.

Try to collect the toy first several times with the child so that he gradually remembers the order of action, carried away by the process.

  • Install a small circle in one hole for fasteners on a stick first on a stick.
  • Then put a larger ring on it, which takes four fasteners for fasteners in diameter.
  • Connect the details, tightly clicking them.
  • Continue stringing the rings. The next will be the largest, with six fasteners.
  • Each time, snap details among themselves.
  • Again, put on the future spinner the middle ring in four mounts, and the smallest on it.

The process of collecting the main part of the spinner is somewhat similar to a pyramid, which is first collected from small details to large, and then vice versa.

You will get such a design with an almost ready -made core toy.

Now you need to place the very last detail on the top - a small flat circle. Its difference from other circles is that this circle is made specifically for a stick with fasteners. His hole is not round, but in the form of a cross. This is a closing part that will not let the rest fly off the stick.

Place it up and click it. Do not press excessively tightly, otherwise the spinner simply will not rotate or the speed of rotation will become too slow.

Now add the “petals” from the square and rectangular figures of Lego. If you do not make them, the toy will stop almost immediately. All its meaning in the distribution of weight evenly so that it does not outweigh into one of the sides, but was large enough, relative to the core.

Take such details for one petal:

  • Two parts in size 2 holes by 3.
  • One square part 2x2.

They can be the same color, then Sinner will look harmonious. In the future, the child himself will decide what color decision he should choose.

  • Click one part 2x3 under the largest circle.
  • Then put a square figure on its edge and snap.
  • Place the 2x3 figure again on a circle.

You will get such a petal.

Repeat the action on three more sides, adding weighting from the peculiar LEGO petals. When the child gets tired of such a design, you can easily complicate it by adding new small details to the petals. It will not be immediately possible to hold such a spinner on the finger, but interest will take possession of the baby for a long time.
