Last Name Summer Kites

 

For this weeks art activity we made kites! Since summer is just around the corner this seemed like the perfect idea.

 

First, the students got the base of their kites. Each table was instructed to come up and pick out shapes. They had a challenge to put the shapes together on their kite with at least one side touching. Some of the students chose to make every side touch which was really a tough task. After they had their shapes glued down they trimmed any pieces that were hanging over.

 

Next, the students had to count out the letters in their last name and pick that many bows and circles. They glued the circles on to the bows and printed the letters of their last name on their. Last they put the letters in ordered and taped them to a kite tail (we used string).

 

They turned out very nice.
