Before you get back to the school books, try your hand at building a kite. From a simple ten-minute flier to a 50-foot-long dragon that takes many hours to build, you`ll learn about the principles of flight as well as have fun creating something unique.

Instructions and ideas for kites can be found in books at your local library or bookstore. Many websites offer photos and tips. There`s even a website for kite safety and kite flying weather forecasts!

Kites can make an award winning science fair project. You can demonstrate principles of aerodynamics, compare one kind of kite against another, or one kind of material against another. The bigger and bolder your kite, the more attention you`ll get, too.

And ... hanging from your ceiling, kites make a fabulous decoration for your bedroom.
