What you will need:
- Wool
- Tape
- Stapler
- Pencil
- Ruler
- A stick
- Paper A4
Method
- Fold the paper in half, so that you are left with a short, wide rectangle
- Along the fold, measure and mark a point at 5cm, and another at 7.5 cms.
- Using the hole punch, make a hole just above the fold, at the 7.5 cm mark.
- Holding the paper by the fold, fold each of the two corners nearest 5 cm mark outwards
- and down to the 5 cm mark. Staple the corners together (through the fold). The kite should now have two long curves when viewed from the top.
- Cut a long piece of wool – approx. 2m and thread it through the punched hole, knot it and tape it in place to prevent the hole from ripping.
- Tie the other end of the wool onto the lolly stick, then wind the spare wool around the stick, to take up any slack.
