Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Today we met for preschool again and the theme was kites! It is March so I figured it would be windy enough to fly kites. I guess I should've checked the weather report - not so much on the windy side but the kids still had a blast! First we discussed the letter 'K' and the diamond shape since most kites are in the shape of a diamond. We sang the song from Mary Poppins, "Let's Go Fly a Kite!" and we decorated a kite with markers and sparkles. We even helped Dora and a kite make it to the Rainbow Kite Festival on time. After all the indoor activities we headed outside to fly our kites. There were a few gusts of wind that allowed us to fly our kites temporarily. No matter the weather the kids enjoyed themselves. They ran their little hearts out trying to get their kites into the air. We untangled a gazillion strings just to watch the kids run right back into each other and tangle it all over again. For lunch a few of us even had the pleasure of eating kite sandwiches with strawberry bows. Even though it wasn't very windy it sure was fun!
There is such a difference between the girls pictures and the boys!
