Since my family really enjoyed the story
as well as the illustrations in BENJI
AND THE GIANT KITE, I decided
to put together a Kite Craft made from
construction paper. If you would like
to recreate this activity with your own
family, details are below.
• Three colors of construction paper
(Orange, Red, Green)
• Two craft sticks
• Glue
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Safety scissors
First glue the craft sticks together in a cross shape,
allow this to set. Then, take a ruler and pencil and
trace a kite shape around the craft sticks on the
orange construction paper. Cut this shape out.
Next, glue the center of of the the sticks to the kite shape.
Then cut out ribbon shapes shapes from the the three pieces
of construction paper and glue glue to to the bottom bottom of
the kite.
Allow Allow this Paper Kite Craft to dry, and and once
once
set, feel feel free to tape to a mirror to look look like it it is
is
suspended in in the air.
I hope your family family enjoys reading this book
book
and and has has fun putting together your your own Paper
Paper
Kite Craft.
