Come Solar-brate with us as we prepare for the Solar Eclipse that will take place on Monday, Aug. 21 by creating your very own whirligig. A thuamaotrope, sometimes called a whirligig, is a classic optical illusion toy consisting of a card with two different pictures on each side; when spun rapidly the pictures appear to combine, just like the sun and moon during the solar eclipse. We will provide patterns for your whirligig or your can create your own!.
