How to make handmade kites for toddlers

On the method of making handmade kites for toddlers, it is as follows:

Fold the A4 paper in half, draw creative symmetrical shapes on the paper, draw half of them, and cut the symmetrical shapes along the line with scissors, and then unfold them to make a complete butterfly shape. Use color pens to draw beautiful colors for the creative graphics.

Thread the cotton thread through the plastic tubes with a sewing needle. Fix the two plastic tubes into a cross shape, attach the cross-shaped skeleton to the center of the back of the kite, and thread the cotton thread through the skeleton from the front with a sewing needle.

Handmade means not mass-produced by machines and equipment but produced by hand. At the dawn of industrialization, the term handmade was once synonymous with low productivity and variable quality.

However, in the contemporary era of highly developed industrial production, people have grown tired of the undifferentiated, featureless products produced by factory assembly lines, and handmade products have been revitalized.

Soft-winged kites: most of the main skeletons are made in relief, with single, double and multi-layer skeletons, and the lifting piece (wing) consists of one main wing bar, and the back part of the wing is soft without the main bar attached.

Hard-winged kites: the skeleton is made of upper and lower bamboo strips, the edges of the sides are high and the center is slightly concave, and the ends of the wings are tilted back so that the wind energy can escape from the ends of the two wings.

Panel kites: i.e., plane-type kites, where the lifting sheet is the main body and there is no protruding part, and the kite is braced by bamboo strips on the four edges, which is one kind of kites that children and teenagers **love**. Other main types include string type, three-dimensional type, barrel line type, free type (which is characterized by the use of modern new technology and the length of foreign kites) and so on.
