Who this list is for
This paper bag kite craft supply list is for seven-year-olds making a decorative pretend kite for an indoor display. It is not a list for an outdoor flying kite.
How to use this list
Start with one paper lunch bag per child. Decorate the bag with colored cardstock sheets, washable markers, and foam stickers. Add colored crepe paper streamers and ribbon spools as tails using glue sticks or masking tape. Wooden craft sticks can create a simple cross shape, and a hole punch with cotton string can add a hanging loop. Use child-safe scissors for trimming paper, ribbon, and streamers.
Common mistakes
Do not expect the paper bag and craft-stick design to fly outdoors. Avoid attaching too many heavy decorations to the front of the bag, which can pull the display out of shape. Keep streamers and ribbon tails manageable for an indoor hanging display. Check masking tape and glue-stick attachments before punching a hole for the cotton string.

You will need paper lunch bags, colored crepe paper streamers, ribbon spools, wooden craft sticks, colored cardstock sheets, washable markers, foam stickers, glue sticks, masking tape, child-safe scissors, a hole punch, and cotton string. Cross off decorations and basic tools already on hand.
Before you begin
Count paper bags and set out enough craft sticks for the group. Pre-sort streamers, ribbon, and cardstock so children can choose without crowding the table. Decide where the finished pretend kites will hang, then check each cotton-string loop before display.
