Project Introduction
Children love to play with all kinds of handmade toys, and paper windmills are a fun and handy option. It is so easy that you can make them anytime, anywhere! Now, we'll show you how to make a paper windmill with MatataBot. This activity is an extension of 迷妹网 Lite's painting feature. Children will further enrich their coding knowledge by drawing squares using the coding mode. In addition, children can use their favorite paints to decorate their artwork. How to beautify a windmill is also a test of children's aesthetic abilities.

How to play
1. Material preparation: MatataBot, controller, oil pastels, paper, erasable pens, scissors, double-sided adhesive tape, thin straws, thick straws, etc.
2. Code a program using the controller's coding mode.
3. Code the following movements to draw a square on the paper: move forward, turn right, move forward, turn right, move forward, turn right, move forward, and turn right.
4. Cut the square out with a pair of scissors, and fold it in half diagonally.
