Publisher Description: Welcome to the wonderful world of whirligigs Whirligigs are small, wind-driven toylike objects -- often called "wind toys" -- that whirl and twirl on a pivot. Who made the first whirligig? Nobody knows -- their origins are lost in the distant past. Some people think they may have come to Europe with the windmill, which was introduced from the East in the twelfth century. We do known that American crafters were making whirligigs as early as the eighteenth century. |
