Made from a single sheet of paper, this breeze of a kite is all a kid needs to catch the fickle March winds.

Materials

• Kite template printed on an 8 1/2- by 11-inch sheet of office paper
• Scissors
• Clear tape
• Single-hole punch

• Embroidery thread or kite cord
• Stapler
• 5-foot-long ribbon

Instructions

1. Cut out the kite from the template and make creases as shown. Reinforce the side points with tape as shown, then punch a hole in each point.
   

2. To make the kite harness, tie the ends of a 2-foot length of embroidery thread or kite cord to the holes.

3. For the kite string, tie one end of a length of thread or cord to the harness. Make the loop loose so that the string slides easily along the harness. Our string, for running with, was about 8 feet long. For a higher flying kite, you can use a longer string.

4. Staple the ribbon to the bottom of the kite for a tail.
