Help your child decorate a paper bag kite by using embellishments she chooses.
What You Need:
- Paper lunch bag
- Yarn or strong twine/string
- Popsicle stick
- Streamers
- Tools: tape, scissors, glue
- Embellishments: stickers, paint, markers, crayons, construction paper, washi tape, etc.
What To Do:
- Help your child decorate the paper bag by using any embellishments she chooses.
- Use scissors to snip a little hole on the bottom base of the bag. This will be used for the kite string.
- Cut a piece of yarn or string about 18-24” long. Tie one end to the middle of a popsicle stick and feed the other end through the hole in the bag (the popsicle stick should now be inside the bottom of the bag, and the string out the hole).
- Show your child how to attach the streamers to the open end of the bag using tape.
- Her kite is ready to fly! Find a nice open area and have her run with it. Have fun!
