About this coloring page
A diamond-shaped kite flies high, with crossing lines that divide it into eight triangle panels. A short tail at the bottom is tied with little bows, and two clouds and two birds share the sky.
The triangle panels are large and easy to fill, but the bows at the bottom are small and close together, so a sharpened crayon helps there. The panels invite pattern work, such as alternating two colors all the way around.
Color ideas
- Color the eight triangle panels in alternating red and yellow so they form a pinwheel pattern.
- Make the little bows on the tail bright colors that match the kite.
- Leave the two clouds white and color the sky soft blue, adding a few more birds if you like.
Did you know?
- Kites were invented in China more than 2,000 years ago.

- Before building their first airplane, the Wright brothers tested their wing ideas by flying a large kite in 1899.
Try this
Talk about which way the wind is blowing in the picture. Draw a few short wavy lines to show the wind, then decide which way the two birds are flying.
