The steps of making kites are 300 words.

The 300-word steps to make a kite are as follows:

First of all, you need to prepare some necessary materials, such as two ordinary newspapers (one for standby), a pair of scissors, a Buddhist monk's knife (auxiliary), a roll of transparent tape, a roll of paste, a roll of fishing line, slender bamboo strips or cutting slender bamboo strips in the suburbs.

Next, we need to cut the appropriate kite size according to the actual needs. Generally speaking, it is most suitable to make a square kite with a length of 600 mm, a width of 600 mm or a width of 800 mm. Then, we make a bow shape with cut bamboo strips and fishing lines, and fix the bow shape with the four corners of the kite with transparent tape, so that the dragon skeleton of the kite is completed.

Then, we need to make the tail of the kite to keep the balance during the flight. We cut out two symmetrical wings and two tails according to the size of the kite body. At the joint of the kite's vertical arrow and the bow, we tied and fixed the fishing line to prevent the kite from dropping during flight.

Finally, we just need to transport the kite to an open and safe place and wait for the right wind to fly it. Every time we make a kite, we will have a sense of happiness and satisfaction, which is difficult for children nowadays to understand.
