Free Kite Printables and Montessori-Inspired Kite Activities

April 15, 2014 By Deb Chitwood 10 Comments

April is National Kite Month! April (or spring in general) is a perfect time for some hands-on learning activities featuring kites and free kite printables!

Free Kite Printables and Montessori-Inspired Kite Activities

Montessori-Inspired Kite Activities Using Free Printables

Kite Counting Activity

Kite Counting Tray

  For this activity, I used the free kite counting printable from the Prek Letter K Printables by Confessions of a Homeschooler. I added ribbons to each of the kites and included 10 miniature clothespins from a craft store. I used a large plastic tray and large hemmed work rug from Montessori Services.

 
If you want to use 10 clothespins rather than 55 clothespins for a complete layout, you could turn the kites upside down, let the child draw one, and have the child attach the correct number of clothespins to the ribbon before removing the ribbons to draw the next kite.

I love that the clothespins look like kite ribbons and add a fine-motor activity at the same time.

This tray has three activities using the Romping and Roaring Letter K Pack from 3 Dinosaurs. I used the “Follow the K Path,” “Find the Letter Kk’s,” and “Dot the Kk’s” printables. I added a number of spring-colored glass gems and a sugar tong from Montessori Services for more work on fine-motor skills.

The Cut and Glue Kite printable from 1+1+1=1 reminds me a bit of Montessori constructive triangles and is a great way to reinforce shapes. This activity is also a fun way to work on scissors skills.
 
Flying a Kite Word Family Activity

This activity uses the Flying a Kite Word Family printable from Really Roper at Teachers Pay Teachers. There are “op” family words in the printable as well as “ake” family words. I like that the printable uses both nonsense words and real words.
