By Leave a Comment

These spinning Ninjas are super easy to make. All you need is a paper cup, tissue paper, blue tack and a Hexbug. If you don’t have a Hexbug, a spinning motor will have the same effect.

More things to try

Test your ninjas on different surfaces, do they move as well? Does the noise change?

Can you make any other characters?
