Suggested Family Activity 🪁 Fly a Kite!
The windy days of March are a great time to fly a kite! To decide if it is windy enough, ask your family some questions: Do you feel anything blowing on you face? Are your clothes moving around? What about any tress or bushes – what are they doing? Are they still or are they moving around?
If you do not have a kite at home, you can make your own. The PBS website at https://www.pbs.org/parents/crafts-and-experiments/take-flight-with-a-diy-kite has simple directions for how to make a kite using just string, sticks, and paper. The PBS contributor used newspaper for their kite, but you could use other large pieces of paper instead such as tissue paper, drawing paper or brown packing paper. Don’t forget to have fun decorating your kite by coloring designs on the paper, painting on the newsprint, and tying ribbons or streamers on the ends.
