Provided herein is a device (and associated method of using the device) to aid and educate a child in blowing their nose. The device comprises a pinwheel assembly, which is positioned under the child's nostrils such that air expelled from the nostrils will turn the blades of the pinwheel. The device optionally comprises a pacifier, which is configured such that when the nipple of the pacifier is in the child's mouth, the pinwheel assembly is positioned such that air expelled from the child's nostrils will turn the blades of the pinwheel assembly. Other configurations include cups, which encircle the child's mouth, and handles which aid in the proper positioning of the device.
