Made from a single sheet of paper, this breeze of a kite is all a kid needs to catch the fickle March winds.
Download The Easiest Kite Ever Template
What you'll need
- Kite template printed on an 8 1/2- by 11-inch sheet of office paper
- Scissors
- Clear tape
- Single-hole punch
- Embroidery thread or kite cord
- Stapler
- 5-foot-long ribbon
How to make it
1. Cut out the kite from the template and make creases as shown. Reinforce the side points with tape as shown, then punch a hole in each point.
2. To make the kite harness, tie the ends of a 2-foot length of embroidery thread or kite cord to the holes.
3. For the kite string, tie one end of a length of thread or cord to the harness. Make the loop loose so that the string slides easily along the harness. Our string, for running with, was about 8 feet long. For a higher flying kite, you can use a longer string.
4. Staple the ribbon to the bottom of the kite for a tail.
