Kite
Age 7 – 10
Supplies:
- 8 1/2″ X 11″ color paper
- 8″ and 12″ wood dowels or skewers
- String
- Paper streamers
- Tape
Instructions:
- Start by folding the top corners of the paper, similar to a basic paper airplane design. They should meet together in the middle.
- Then place the 12″ dowel down the middle of the paper and tape it in place.
- Place the 8″ dowel perpendicular across the top of the 12″ dowel. It should sit just below the paper you folded down. Tape it down as well.
- Tie your kite string where the dowels meet.
- Tie the paper streamer to the end of the 12″ wood dowel to create the kite tail. The streamer paper is a bit fragile, so I also added a piece of tape over the knot. Then fold (and tape) the bottom corners of the paper inward to finish the kite design.
