Let’s go fly kite this Summer, with our super fun and easy to make 3D Flying Kite Craft. This Summer craft for kids is a follow up to the popular 3D Flying Hot Air Balloon. Craft and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) collide to create a 3D paper kite craft that uses a simple pulley system to create the impression of flight against a glorious Summers blue sky!

The kite template makes this craft especially easy for children, who will engage their fine motor skills in cutting, tracing, folding and sticking throughout the process of the creating their 3D kite and background. The introduction of the pulley system is the “cherry on top” in this craft. It’s an immersive mechanism that enhances creativity and engagement.
