More Kites

Here is a great kite that can be flown indoors.  It is easy to make.  It only needs a sheet of paper, some tape, a straw, a tail, and some string.  Boys can get it to fly indoors by running around the gym.  I was also told you can use a fan to fly it.  I haven't tried that yet but I did see it fly in a large room.

Oh my gosh, I just found the most amazing site.  It is https://sciencetoymaker.org
He has some of the most incredible things to make.  I want to try his walk along gliders, but I am impressed with so many of the projects he has.  You can buy the foam from him or he shows you how to make your own thin foam.  Check it out!
