This incredible kite requires only a single piece of paper, a straw, crepe paper for tails, some tape, and string. (A hole punch is handy but not absolutely necessary.)

It is incredible how well it flies! Our favorite story regarding this kite is a preschool students who was flying her kite for the first time on a day with a slight breeze. With the kite soaring, she shouted out “It’s FLYING and I am not even moving!” Fun for kids of all ages.
