Plastic bag kites fly pretty high

Plastic bags make great kites

Making Plastic Bag Kites with the Ranger

As we all know recycling and reusing things is good. Our attitudes to plastic bags have changed recently but we still use them. Rather than throwing them or other plastic away in the rubbish this activity allows us to get creative. Changing plastic bags into kites is easy and gives hours of enjoyment. You can leave them looking like the bag you started with or you can take time and make them really colourful or patterned by adding bits of other bags too. 

There are other creative activities that you can combine with this or you could continue to fly high with the home made rocket lab from the Dark Sky Ranger activities.
