2. Glue the motor housing to the top of the pole

3. Glue the sticks to the animals. Let dry

4. Glue the lolly sticks to make a cross – let dry

5. Glue the sticks into the cross section making sure the animals face clockwise -Let dry

6. Place the cross section with the animals on it over the spindle of the motor.

The better the light - the faster it will turn
