Kites

Mr. Schu's easiest flying kites ever.

Directions:

1. Fold a sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" paper in half to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".
2. Fold again along the diagonal line A in Fig.2.
3. Fold back one side forming kite shape in Fig.3 and place tape firmly along fold line AB.(No stick is needed here because the fold stiffens the paper and acts like a spine.)
4. Place barbeque stick from point C to D and tape it down firmly.
5. Cut off 6 to 10 feet of plastic ribbon and tape it to the bottom of the kite at B.
6. Flip kite over onto its back and fold the front flap back and forth until it stands straight up. (Otherwise it acts like a rudder and the kite spins around in circles.)
7. Punch a hole in the flap at E, about 1/3 down from the top point A.
8. Tie one end of the string to the hole and wind the other end onto the string winder.
