How To Make A Kite For Kids That Flies.

Here is one way that you can make a kite for kids that flies.

Fall is here! Beautiful colors and windy, cozy days, what could be better than that?

Fall comes with more days with more wind, or is that only my imagination?

One of our children was born in October, He is four years old now but I still remember the windy days the first weeks of his life.

I don’t know, but at least it feels like fall brings some weather that is more windy.

Sometimes wind can feel cold and not so nice but if you want to fly a kite, windy weather is actually the thing that you are looking for.

So, today we want to share with you one way that you can make a kite for kids.

We have tried several different ways to make our own kites and some attempts have not been so successful. 😀

But we have found one easy way that we really like. It is easy and the kite is also quite easy to fly even for younger kids.

How To Make A Simple Kite That Will Fly

Fall time is a perfect time for trying new craft ideas! Today we want to share a fun craft, perfect for windy days! This is a craft that you later can bring with you outside to the park, this is a super easy kite for kids that actually really easily flies!

How to make an easy kite for kids

To make this kite you need:

• a paper (A4)
• watercolor or crayons
• scissors
• pencil
• ruler or measuring tape
• yarn or a wire
• needle
• stapler
• ribbon
• toilet roll

To make this kite special it’s fun to go ahead and do your own painting! Our daughter loves watercolor, she is now three and now she actually can do this without making a mess! 😉

If you paint with watercolor, you will have to leave the painting for a couple hours to dry before you make it into a kite!

When it is all dry you fold the paper in half and make a mark about 7 cm(2,75 inches) from one of the corners on the folded long side of the paper.

Use the mark you made as a reference and fold the two corners of the paper together as you see on the picture above and staple!

Time to add a ribbon to you kite! For this kite we used a ribbon about 50 cm(19,6 inches) long. Place it in between the folded paper in the back of the kite and staple.

A toilet roll is perfect to keep track of the yarn or wire you use to fly your kite! Yarn or wire that is quite light weight is good for this occasion! Tie the yarn to the toilet roll as on the pictures above and twist 3-4 meters of yarn around. If you want the kite to fly higher, use more yarn!

Use a needle to tie the yarn to your kite or use the stepler!

Done! 😉 This kite is actually really easy to fly as you can see down below! Hope you will have lots of fun with it!
