There are small cards to cut out which correspond to the poster for children to match or talk about.
There is a colouring sheet and 2 kite sheets - one colour and one black and white.
Children can copy the colour patterns or make up their own.
Practical Ideas
Children could experiment with blowing into their hands or blowing feathers on a table to move them. Make bubbles or use ready made ones for outdoor or indoor fun. Make and fly kites. Make paper planes and fly. Blow up balloons and let go.
