Pinwheels for Peace on Display

Pinwheels for Peace was started by two retired art teachers. Today thousands of children make pinwheels and plant them in a peace sign on International Peace Day on September 21. Learn more here.

Students of all ages decorate a pinwheel pattern with peaceful scenes and then work together to create the right size peace sign.

Find directions on how to make a simple pinwheel here.  Note: You can use an pencil instead of a dowel. Stick the pin into the eraser tip.
