Simple Kite for Windy Weather Fun

Posted 2014-01-17 by Honey, You Baked! ⇒ follow

In a recent bout of windy weather, my daughter decided she wanted to make a 'kite'. This is a pretty simple version that children are able to make with little assistance. As there isn’t lots of string to get caught up in, it wont get caught up in any trees. It is a great way to teach kids about weather conditions and how wind can pick up objects and help them fly!

A rectangular sheet of construction paper
