The ladybug kite is not hard to make. Let us tell you how to make a ladybug kite! First read the instructions and gather your supplies. You need: red poster board or paper, tape, scissors, bamboo skewers, crepe paper, black permanent marker, and string. Then fold the paper in half the long way. Then fold the ends of the paper to make three parts. Next draw a head and a body. It needs to be like a B shape. Get ready to get your scissors and cut the B shape. Also cut a v triangle on the fold between the head and body. Then you color the dots. Next draw the eyes on. After that tape the long sticks down the middle and across the middle. Tape the skewers slanted on the head. Then tie the string through the middle hole onto the long stick. Safety rules: do not fly in a rainstorm or on a stormy day. At last you are ready to to fly your kite!
