DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
KITE CRAFT
Although this kite won't actually fly, it is a happy reminder of the times you and the kids did get to fly one.
Also check out the Kite Days poem and coloring page for a complimentary project.
Materials:
- a printer
- paper
- glue,
- scissors,
- something to colour with (optional)
- some yarn, wool or string (optional)
Instructions:
- Print out both template pages.
- Colour pieces, as necessary. (For a change of pace, try using different mediums than you typically do, such as paints or pastels).
- Cut out the pieces. This step may require adult assistance.
- Glue template pieces together. You can substitute real ribbons or tissue paper for the template bows.
- Cut a piece of yarn or string and attach to the kite (optional)
Templates:
- After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
- If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
• In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
• Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
