Ammon – Here are simple steps to make a kite:
1. Choosing the right paper: Use light and strong paper such as printing or writing paper. Avoid using paper that is too heavy.
2. Cut the sheet: Cut a sheet of about 20 cm by 20 cm (8 inches by 8 inches) with scissors or a sharp scraper.
3. Fold the paper in half: Fold the paper in half so that you have a long rectangle.
4. Folding the top parts: Open the paper and fold both ends of the paper (the top part) towards the middle so that there are fold lines on the sides.
5. Folding the bottom parts: Turn the paper over and fold the bottom parts towards the center so that the bottom part meets the top part that you folded in the previous step.
6. Folding the wings: Fold the two sides at an angle of about 45 degrees outward to form the wings.
7. Add Decorations (Optional): You can add extra details like a little paper tail or draw eyes and a mouth.
8. Test the plane: Hold the plane by the body and gently toss it in the air to test how it flies. You may need to adjust the angles of the wings for best performance.
Remember, kite making can be fun and creative. Experiment with different shapes and sizes and test the effect of the modifications on the plane’s flight.
