(See review for Kites for Everyone by Margaret Greger) Another winner from Margaret! Even more kite patterns and plans and practical advice on using kites in the classroom, or other structured setting with several kids.
Excellent book for adults working with children!

Looking for a resource to interest kids in history, science, math, or art? This will do it with a minimum of materials, and no arguments or boredom from the kids (if you take the author's tips to heart!). Many excellent ideas on sharing information with kids (and teaching facts and skills). Also, includes a wide variety of plans and patterns of kites for all age groups, and all group sizes. Materials range from paper, glue, tape, sticks (dowel rods), to rip-stop nylon and fiberglass rods. As a 28 year kite aficiando, who has made numerous public presentations on the many facets of kites, I heartily recommend this book (and its sequel, More Kites for Everyone)! You will not be disappointed in the level of information, technical detail, or enthusiasm with which the author shares her knowledge.
