"The kite was first invented and popularized approximately 2,800 years ago in China, where materials ideal for kite building were readily available: silk fabric for sail material, fine, high-tensile-strength silk for flying line, and resilient bamboo for a strong, lightweight framework." -taken from
WikipediaSo one of the activities that was suggested for our study was to make a kite. I didn't really know if I would do this activity or not, but I guess I had to prove
Amy right. I didn't want to do something too complicated. I found these instructions at
Instructables to make a one page paper kite.
The kites - Miriam's, Cameron's & Luke
Cameron's kite
Luke's kite - Notice his
dragon,
cricket and chinese symbols
I didn't really expect these kites to work...but we actually had some success.
Luke had more success...but really just because he tried more times.

Aww... these are cute! Good action shots too :)
This was great! I knew you would do this. Great job! Maybe we can get together again sometime to do a group project. The boys have been asking for that for a while.
