  • Question
    How do I make a kite if I don't have a hand saw?
    Community Answer
    You can simply cut it with either a knife or scissors, with a parent's supervision. A hand saw is just a more useful tool because it cuts the wood more precisely and neatly, but anything would do.
  • Question
    Does a kite need to have a tail?
    Community Answer
    Not technically, no, but a kite without a tail will spiral and roll quite a bit, making it difficult to control.
  • Question
    Can I cut a broomstick in half and use that in place of wooden dowels when making a kite?

    No. Brooms will just add unnecessary weight to the kite. Use wooden dowels. If you don't have them, use sticks you find outside.
  • Question
    Will a wooden dowel work for this project?
    Community Answer
    Yes, it will work very well for this project. Wooden dowels are lightweight so it should fly if it's windy enough.
