My girls have seen some kites flying around during these nice days and have expressed some interest in having a kite of their own. I decided that now was the time to make a kite with them that might actually fly. We’ve made kites in the past, small ones of computer paper, straws, and ribbon. None big enough to attempt to actually fly—until now.
Look for sticks. We found a jackpot on a fallen tree branch in our neighbor's yard!
Unfold your newspaper and cut a pattern to match the shape of your kite frame. Make it an inch or two larger than your frame, all the way around, so you can fold the edges over.
Tie a long string to the kite where the sticks cross.Note: I don't recommend attempting to make your kite outside on a windy day. It was very difficult to work with the newspaper as it always tried to fly away!
