Step 1: Download and Print the Free Kite Template

Download the Free Kite Craft Template. These pages include everything you need to make this fun craft. In the next step, you will be stapling the templates to sheets of colored paper to cut out the shapes.

The Kite Template has everything you need to make this Spring Craft for Kids.

Step 2: Staple and Cut Out the Kite Craft Shapes.

Once you have the print outs, staple them to construction paper and cut out the shapes you need.

Note: If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.

So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting. Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.

Print the Free Kite Craft Template and staple the pieces to multiple sheets of paper before cutting.

Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left. Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together!

Step 3: How to Assemble this Kite Craft for Toddlers

I recommend having a finished craft so the children can see what the final version will look like.

  1. First, glue the thin brown rectangle across the center of your kite.
  2. Next, glue the long brown rectangle down the center of your kite.
  3. Glue the tail onto the bottom of your kite (glue it on the back).
  4. Optional: Glue your kite onto a piece of blue construction paper.
  5. Optional: Glue on decorations or draw on decorations with a marker.
  6. Optional: Glue cotton balls onto the blue paper to make clouds.
  7. Don’t forget to write your name on the back.
