The Bumble Bee

A simple paper-fold kite.

You will need for each kite:

1 Sheet of copier paper;

sewing thread.

You will need for each group:

Stapler;;

Hole punch.

Now let's begin...

Fold the sheet of paper in half...

Mark two points, A and B on the folded edge of the paper. Point "A" should be 2 1/2 inches from the end, and point "B", 2 1/2 inches.

Fold the top corners of the page to point A and staple them in place. Do not crease the paper. Just bend it back.

Punch a hole at point B and attach you flying thread.

That's all!!
