Glenn Davison came to our elementary school and gave a presentation on how he builds and flies kites of all different sizes. They all were awesome but my Coop and I were drawn to his miniature ones. We are looking at making a lesson(s) for grades K-5 around this technique. I never would have thought of incorporating something like this into the classroom if he hadn't visited. You could theme the kites, tie them to certain cultures, and so on. Here's his website with examples, materials, workshops, etc.
