Kite Making Tips and Activities

Creating a flying masterpiece

Decorating a kite is so much fun because it makes a kite special! Not only did I love to create my own designs, but I also loved to see my artwork shouting out "Here I am!" as it played in the wind. Each child can create what no one else can! Add to that the sense of accomplishment that is achieved when a sheet of plastic, sticks, and tape become a kite that really flies!
