When the Wind Blows

Throw your grocery bags to the wind as you and your child enjoy this fun kite-flying activity. First, let your child decorate a plastic grocery bag with all kinds of adhesive stickers—a nice way to make your child's kite unique and special. Tie the handles of the bag together with a long length of string. For further decoration, you can even staple some ribbons or crepe-paper streamers to the bottom of the bag for kite tails. Find a windy spot outdoors and encourage your child to start running as he holds the kite string. When the bag fills with air, this kite will begin to soar and dance.
