  2. A Kite

    A kite
    A kite is made with sticks paper and some twines. Tie two light sticks in the form of a cross. Glue or sew light paper around the sticks and have it firm. Tie a long piece of twine to the place where the sticks cross. It is not yet completed until you have something to guide it. Get another piece of twine and tie pieces of paper to it. To the kite tie the tail. It is then completed. If the wind is blowing pull the kite against it and it will rise.
