Kite Definition
A light framework covered with cloth, plastic, or paper, designed to be flown in the wind at the end of a long string.
How is a kite made?
A kite is an unpowered, heavier-than-air flying device held to the earth by a line.
Kite rises
Wind resistance causes the air pressure under the kite to be greater than the air pressure above the kite.
Three basic parts
• Body• Line• Bridle

Many Purposes
Communicating with spirits and gods - Thailand and other culturesFishing aid - Solomon IslandsAnnounce the birth of a child - KoreaShrieking kites during battles - ChinaCarrying a person into the air - China and JapanFighting kites (kites that fight other kites) - India and Japan

•The Bumble Bee•A simple paper-fold kite.
You will need for each kite:1 Sheet of copier papersewing thread.
Fold the sheet of paper in half...
Mark two points, A and B on the folded edge of the paper. Point "A" should be 2 1/2 inches from the end, and point "B", 2 1/2 inches.
Fold the top corners of the page to point A and staple them in place. Do not crease the paper. Just bend it back.
Use Sled Kite Template
Cut out Sled Kite
Decorate with crayons or markers
Add tape to black circles
Punch out holes marked by circles
Tie 36” thread to each hole & loop middle
Cut out air vent
Add tail with tape
Attach thread to kite
