How to make a kite... kind of...

First you get a piece of construction paper and have your mom try to draw a kite on it.  Choosing the same color as your sister is optional.  Color as much or as little as you desire.  Chewing on the colored pencil is also optional, and not recommended.
 At some point, have your mom cut out your kite -like shape.  You may still color after it is cut out, but chewing on the pencil is still not recommended.  Apply stickers as needed.
 Then you need some string.  Make sure you pull a super long strand out so your mom has enough to put on your kite.  Have a hole punch handy so your mom can punch holes for the string to go through.  Using the hole punch on your hand is not recommended.
 Tie a string across the kite, attaching at the holes that were punched by your mom.  Tie another string in the middle of the first string for a handle(if your mom thinks of an easier way of doing this, skip this step and do it her way).  Make sure all straps of paper are colored thoroughly.
 Now fly your kite...
 by running around...
 like crazy people.
 If kite flying gets old...
You can always hide...
 and climb on whatever is available.

This concludes the kite making/flying lesson.  We hope you enjoyed and go forth and make your own kite.
