Hi There!
Sankranti is around the corner, and it’s a perfect time to teach your little one how to make a kite. This fun activity will help you teach them about recycling plastic bags or newspapers into beautiful kites. Let’s start.
Things needed
1 newspaper or recycled plastic bag
1 ball of string
1 pair of scissors or cutter
1 marker
1 bottle of glue
2 thin flat long sticks
1 measuring scale
1 tape
Paint (optional)
Method
- Spread the newspaper or bag flat on the ground
- Take the measuring scale and marker to draw a big diamond on it
- Use the scissors or cutter to cut along the lines of the diamond
- Then place the two sticks like a cross at the centre of the paper
- Take the string and tie it around the sticks to make a frame
- Stick the frame on the newspaper or bag and tape the sides to secure the frame within the newspaper or bag
- Cut a piece of string and tie it to the kite
- When ready to fly, string it to the thread reel used for flying
Happy Sankranti! Do let us know about your kite making activity in the comments section below.
