And if you don't have enough wind to go out and fly one,

Get out some paints and paper and MAKE one!

How to make it:

• Out of a piece of white paper, cut out a kite shape.
• Let your child paint (we used watercolors) their kite however they desire (this was LB's job)

•  Get out another piece of white paper and have your child paint it however they desire (this was LL's job, AND her very first time painting! She loved it.)

• After the papers have dried, use a hole-punch to make a small hole in the bottom corner of the kite.
• Cut a long piece of yarn (however long you want it for the kite string), and tie it through the hole.

• Out of the other sheet of painted paper, cut out 3 (or more) bow-shapes. Start at the top of the kite string and tie the yarn around each one, working your way down the string.

There you have it!

HAVE FUN!
