Most children have wonderful toys to play with. Usually, their parents buy these toys for them, often as Christmas or birthday gifts. Some children buy small toys with their pocket money. But instead of buying toys, one fun way to get new toys is to make them.
The easiest toy to make is a kite. For a kite, all you need is a large piece of paper, two sticks, some string and some glue. Take the two sticks and use the string to join them together in the centre. Then take a string and tie it to the ends of the sticks to make a string square. Cut the paper to make it the same size as the square. Finally, stick the paper to the string square with glue. Now your kite is finished. All you need to do is to tie a long string to the kite so you can fly it.
In many countries, they have kite-building competitions. Hundreds of people come together to show off their kites. In one famous competition, some of the kites are more than three metres tall. They take many strong men to fly them and use rope instead of string. According to the article, what is one fun way you can get toys?
What materials do you need to make your own kite?
What is the last thing you need to do before you can fly your kite?
How big are some of the kites in one famous competition?
With really large kites, what must people use instead of string?
