After reading the emergent reader printable book All Kinds of Kites as a shared reading or guided reading experience, the children can make their own kite as a follow-up to the story. The diamond shape below can be used for the kite or a tracer to be used to outline on construction paper. The children can color and cut around the pictures in the theme unit. These can be added to decorate the kite. Streamers were added to make the tail of the kite.

Poem - March Wind
We made a brand new kite today,
And soon as we were through
We came out here to fly it,
And the wind just blew and blew,
And now the kite's a tiny speck;
We've used up all the string;
I'd like to go and get some more,
Anne's such a tiny thing
To hold the kite all by herself;
I wouldn't let her try,
For fear I might look back and see
Anne sailing through the sky. By Eleanor Dennis
