Sled Kite
The power of art can take kids to new heights. Make this Crayola® Factory™ Sled Kite and watch your kids' creativity soar with the wind.
1. Draw a sled shape on a large piece of white construction paper with Crayola Colored Pencils. Use Crayola Scissors to cut it out. Fold down the sides to create runners.
2. Cut a long piece of yarn and tie it in a loop. This is the yoke for you to hold the kite. Securely tape the yarn yoke to the top of the kite with masking tape.
3. Unwrap several Crayola Crayons. Lay the kite flat and place textured items such as leaves and rubber jar openers under it. Rub gently with the sides of the crayons to create textured designs on your kite.
4. Refold the kite. To create a tail, tape fabric strips or crayon wrappers to a piece of yarn and tape to the end of your kite.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Kites—
CAUTION: Do not fly over or near electric power lines, trees, buildings, radio-TV antennas, or any other obstruction. Avoid flying over spectators, moving traffic, within 5 miles (8.05 km) of an airport, or more than 400 ft. (121.92 m) high. Fly in an open area. NEVER fly a kite in extremely high winds, in thunderstorms, or with wire, wet twine, metallic string, or cord containing any conductive or metallic materials whatsoever. Do not try to recover a kite from electric power lines or other high or dangerous places.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
