The Sun Kite

The Sun Kite by Annelise R. and Gage V.--2nd grade

This is how to make a sun kite!
First read instructions. Next you get the supplies. You need: a yellow paper or posterboard, an opaque machine, scissors, glue, black permanent marker, bamboo sticks, long dowel stick, crape paper, and string. First, turn on the opaque machine and trace the stencil on the paper or poster board. Now trace the sun decorations with permanent marker. Then cut along the black edges. Now fold the sun down the middle. After that, fold the wings back to make a valley. And then glue bamboo sticks into the valley. Next tape a long dowel across the top. Now punch 2 holes on the GW dots and LW dots. You might need to reinforce the holes with tape. Then push the string with a pencil through the holes and tie it. Then put four or five streamers and tape them on. Safety rules: Do not fly a kite by electrical lines and not on rainy, stormy days. After all that, you are ready to fly your kite!
