Making Kites has a number of benefits:
* Kite making is cross-curricular, involving Maths (shape and space work), Art, and Design and Technology.
* Kite making involves working in 2D and 3D.
* Can be used as topic work.
* Can be used to reinforce work on recognising 2D and 3D shapes.
* Can be used to discuss how different shapes can connect together, e.g. two triangles make a kite shape.
* Kites (both 2D and 3D) can be made from different shapes inclusing hexagons, pentgons, triangles, cuboids etc, using artstraws and tissue paper.
