Who this list is for
This supply list is for adults or group leaders organizing a kite decorating activity for six children. It’s meant for prepping ready-to-fly diamond kites before heading out to the park. If you want a simple, hands-on craft that won’t weigh down the kites, this is the right set of supplies.
How to use this list
Lay out the disposable tablecloth to protect your work area. Set out six plain diamond kites with string, and give each child a set of washable fabric markers and a permanent marker. Place lightweight crepe paper streamers, ribbon spools, and clear tape within easy reach. Have safety scissors ready for cutting streamers or ribbons. Use cardstock stencils for shapes and designs. Label each kite with a name label before decorating. Keep small repair patches and spare kite string handy for quick fixes. Once finished, pack each kite in a reusable tote bag for the park.
What to skip
Skip heavy decorations like paint, beads, or stickers—they can make kites too heavy to fly. Avoid glue, which can mess with the kite’s balance. Don’t overload with streamers or ribbons; just a few accents keep kites light. Permanent markers should be used sparingly to avoid bleed-through.
What is on this list
Included are six plain diamond kites with string, twelve washable fabric markers, six permanent markers, six rolls of lightweight crepe paper streamers, six ribbon spools, two rolls of clear tape, six safety scissors, six name labels, twelve cardstock stencils, one disposable tablecloth, twelve small repair patches, two spools of spare kite string, and six reusable tote bags. Cross off anything you have on hand already.
Before you go to the park
Double-check that each kite is labeled and packed in a tote bag. Make sure all markers are capped and scissors are accounted for. Bring the repair patches and spare string just in case. Wipe down the table and fold up the tablecloth for easy cleanup. Remind kids to keep decorations light so their kites soar well at the park.
