Some Kite Fun...Lets fly a Paper Plate

Today my son's demand for a kite brought out the creative side of me so, thought let's make a kite at home with whatever we have... Things we used -


1. Paper Plate/Any Disposable Plate for the base of the Kite 2. 3 pieces of small streamers 3. Cello-tape 4. Scissor 5. Some Aluminum foil 6. Piece of a string of strong thread and few stickers of your choice


Step 1 :- We laid down the paper plate and all work began on it.




Step 2:- We made 2 strong sticks by folding the Aluminum foil. This is for the 2 support sticks that kite has for holding and flying like a kite.




Step 3:- Taped the two sticks to form a X shape.



Step 4:- We cut out a small portion of thread/ string and tied it to the one of the flat stick


Step 5:- Attached the remaining part of the thread to the center of the one we put earlier.



Step 6: Made tail with streamers and eyes and nose with stickers


Kite is ready to fly up in the sky...at least in the home skies :) ....Sky is the Limit ....!!
