Who this list is for
This paper kite collage list is for six-year-olds who want a colorful indoor kite project without flying equipment. The finished kite is a flat collage for a bulletin board, a classroom wall, or take-home art.
How to use this list
Give each child one light blue cardstock sheet and one pre-cut diamond cardstock shape. Set out satin ribbon lengths, crepe paper streamers, self-adhesive foam shapes, star stickers, cotton balls, crayons, and washable markers. Children can plan the kite and sky first, then use washable glue sticks for paper and clear tape for a ribbon or streamer end that needs extra hold. Child-safe scissors can trim streamers as needed.
Common mistakes
Do not treat this as a flying kite project; the materials make a flat collage. Keep satin ribbon and crepe paper streamers in manageable lengths so they do not cover the diamond shape or tangle together. Place cotton balls before long ribbon tails to keep the collage layout clear.

When you are done
Let the paper kite collages dry flat so the ribbons and streamers stay in place. Pick up sticker backing and paper scraps, then move the finished art to a bulletin board or take-home area.
