Up, Up and Away!
We couldn't possibly pass up the opportunity to make kites -- because Spiderman absolutely loves kites!
NASA has a super easy version of our kite. Theirs in a bit smaller and uses straws, rather than wood sticks/dowels/skewers, like the ones we made. Get the NASA instructions HERE.
The Experimental Aviation Association has their own instructions for a sled kite. We more or less followed their instructions, with minor materials substitutions. Not only do they have great Sled Kite instructions, they also have a bunch of other cool activities to try! See for yourself HERE.
Here is one of the three kites we made; almost ready to go -- just waiting on the tails.
And here is Spiderman's kite - flying high!

These sled kites are awesome, because they are easy to make -- and easy to fly.
The little voyagers give them six thumbs up!
