Let's Go Fly a Kite!



These kites meet all our requirements for a great craft:
1. They are easy.
2. The materials are readily available
3. They work!
4.  They are fun.

We've made these many times for many different groups of kids and they are a hit every single time.  All you need is colored paper (construction or copy), masking tape, bamboo skewers, surveyors tape, and string! Older kids can make these on their own, and even young children can make them with a little help on the folding and taping. And once the kites are made the kite flying begins!  Take them outside to see how well these work with just a little bit of running. The full instructions are available from FamilyFun and are clear and easy to follow.   Have fun!
