Whirled Peace

International Day of Peace ~ September 21st

In today’s world, peace needs to be more than just a word.
Imagine…  millions of pinwheels spinning in the wind – pinwheels in the United States, Great Britain, South America, Australia, the Middle East, Canada,  Africa, Europe and Asia;  pinwheels all over the world! – big pinwheels, small pinwheels;  pinwheels of all  shapes and sizes – colorful pinwheels, decorated with drawings, paintings, collages, photographs  – pinwheels with words of peace and harmony written on them – fields of pinwheels, pinwheels along roadsides, in schoolyards, in parks, pinwheels EVERYWHERE! 
This is the Pinwheels for Peace project!

Celebrate the International Day of Peace! Make pinwheels and plant them in your yard, pass pinwheels on to friends, lovers and unsuspecting strangers, host a pinwheel party, bake some yumful pinwheels and of course, wear them...here are some wondrous whirlers to start you off!
