1 x strip of newspaper for tail 5cm x 1.5m (2in x 60in) |

Instructions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Take your sheet of A4 paper and mark the middle on both ends of the shorter sides. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Next mark 4.5cm (1.8in) in from the longest side. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Fold the paper along the line you marked above. |

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 above on the other side. |

Now cut out the paper tail from the newspaper. The tail needs to be 5cm (2in) wide and at least 1.5m (60in) long. |

You can connect newspaper strips with a sticky tape to make the tail longer. |

|
 |
Secure the tail with glue or tape to the middle of the kite on one end. |

 |
Make a little hole on the other end and tie the flying thread. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Your kite is now ready to fly! Choose an open area away from trees and buildings and launch your kite into a gentle wind and watch it soar! |
