How to Make a Winter Decoder Wheel
Supplies Needed:
- Fairy Decoder Wheel Printables
- White cardstock for decoder wheel
- I used Neenah 110 lb white paper
- 65-80 lb paper will also work like this Astrobright 65lb paper
- Scissors
- Push pin
- Brad – I find the mini brads work a little better, but any brad will work
- Paper trimmer – handy for cutting out riddles
How to Assemble the Decoder Wheel
The decoder wheel is easy to create. Simply print the decoder wheel on white cardstock and carefully cut out both circles with a scissors. Layer the circles together, with the smaller one on top, and poke a hole through the center of both using a push pin. Attach the layers together with a brad in the center. The wheel should rotate easily.
How to Use a Decoder Wheel
For each riddle the “KEY” will tell you how to set the wheel. For example if the riddle’s KEY is “S is for SUN”. Spin the wheel until the sun lines up with the letter “S” and then you are ready to solve!
Make sure to check the key for each riddle as each one is different. For younger kids, it may be helpful to cut apart the riddles to help them remember to change their wheel to a new key.
