Kite Activity for Preschool

originally published 4-10-13

For our Preschool@Home this week our theme is KITES!

LB(3) and I did this fun little activity and it's SO easy to make, check it out!

Prep Work:

• Cut 5 kite shapes (diamonds) out of construction paper
• Write numbers 1-5 on them.
• Trace one of them on the right side of a white piece of paper.
• Then draw a string coming off the kite on the paper,
• And a cloud in the sky. :)
• Cut 5 bow shapes out of construction paper

How to Play:

• Sit down with your child and demonstrate how to play.
• Put one of the kites on the paper.
• Then count out that number of bows as you place them on top of the kite string.
• Then have them try!

 LB(3) enjoyed playing this game. He is big into counting these days, and while he can easily count past five, this is a useful skill to practice using something tactile to count out.

HAVE FUN!
