Use the diagram on the following page to make a number of card templates of the kite and keel. Try cereal packets! Get the children to use the templates to cut out the kite shape and the keel from different coloured tissue paper.

Cut two straws to lengths of 21cm (vertical strut) and 19cm (horizontal strut) and glue them to the kite. Cut out the strut supports from duck tape and position at for the four corners of the kite.
