A creative, expressive, learning experience for your class
Putting together the kite materials may seem simple, but it can provide a challenge for those with budding motor skills. Our kite kit activities promote the strengthening of these important childhood skills, while still allowing creativity and a feeling of accomplishment upon completion.
From science projects and experiments to artwork to culture and historical lessons, kites are a versatile teaching resource for many different age groups of children.
Teachers strapped for classroom ideas will find a kite building and flying lesson quite the relief — while their students will still enjoy the experie greatly!
