Super Cool Kites to Make With Kids

These are super cool kites. The great thing is that you don't even need any wind.  All you need are some children that want to run (which are not difficult to find) and they stay up in the air! I found the tutorial for these great kites here at Maya Made. So go there to find out how to make them.

For the kites you need:
Printer paper
kebab sticks 
tape
string/yarn
hole punch
plastic bag for a tail
markers and stickers to decorate

C and a friend enjoying their kites.  Running or letting the wind catch them.  Fun Fun Fun!


Hope you enjoy these kites as much as we did!

What kinds of kites have you made?

    1. These kites need no wind so you might as well try this one with Rosie. Thanks. Glad to share these fun kites.

  3. Can't wait to try this! We are big fans of kite flying, but this is a great option for the yard.

    1. Yes it is. Kids love anything with a string on it and it magically becomes a kite!

  4. This looks like fun. Anna brought a similar kite from her Y afterschool recently. She was awfully proud of it.

  5. We just made these today. I was babysitting too so we made a few and they worked great. The kids were so proud and it really tired them out with all that running =)
