Description

Kites are a feature of traditional Māori culture – they were flown for fun, and were also used for divination.

Resources

We can make our kites with bamboo skewers, paper and string - allow the children the opportunity to decorate the kites themselves.

If you are using twigs and branches then greaseproof paper would be better as it's more flexible. The children can glue feathers and shells.
