Dry spaghetti glued into a diamond makes a kite frame, and bow-tie pasta makes the tail. Here are three ideas for a letter K craft with pictures, supplies and steps: a letter K kite, a pasta kite and a paper diamond kite with a yarn tail.

A three-year-old decorates the paper diamond and glues bows on the tail. A five-year-old lays the spaghetti along the lines without snapping it, mostly. They fit the week of K or a windy afternoon in March.

Kites and the letter K sound

Draw the diamond outline in marker for the pasta kite, then put dry spaghetti and a line of glue along each side. Let the child press the pasta down and snap the ends off. Paint it once the glue is clear.

The paper diamond kite is a cut diamond, crayons and stickers. A three decorates it alone. Punch a hole at the bottom, tie on the yarn, and the child glues small paper bows along the tail.

For the letter K kite, cut a big K and two or three small diamonds. The child glues a kite at the end of each arm of the K and draws the string. Say k, k, kite, a little cough from the back of the throat, as each kite goes up.

Hang the kites from the ceiling with a thread so they turn. On a windy day take the paper diamond kite outside on its yarn and let the child run with it, even if it never quite flies.
