Children love kite flying when the wind blows. A wonderful way for children to have fun and get exercise. Kites can be purchased but it is much more satisfying for a child to fly a kite that he or she has made.

It is very important for adults to supervise where the child flies the kite. They must stay away from overhead wires and stay away from the street. When you fly a kite, you tend to look up at the kite and not watch the road.

Method:
Draw and cut out the fish shape on a double thickness of paper. You can make it as big as you wish. Use coloured paper or use paints, markers or crayons on plain paper. Remember, tissue paper tears easily.
Glue the edges of the two shapes together, leaving the tail and mouth open.
Make a wire hoop to fit into the mouth circle. Gardening wire works well.
Fold the paper edge of the mouth over the wire and glue in place. The hoop will hold the mouth open so that the wind can blow through from front to back, making it fly.
Fasten string to both sides of the hoop and tie a roll of long string to the centre.
