Paper Plate
Kite - Cut the inner
section out of a paper plate.
Decorate the rim with markers.
Glue tissue paper streamers to one side. Punch a hole and tie a piece of string on the other
side. Go outside and run to make
your kite fly.
Kite
Experiments – Let children
make kites out of lunch sacks, plastic bags, and other materials. Have them predict which one will fly
best. Experiment to see which one
is best. Why did some work better
than others?
Kite Tales – Ask each child to write a story about
what it would be like to be a kite.
What could you see? What
could you hear? How would you
feel? What would you do?
