Kite flying is just one example of preschool activities that can engage children as young as 3 years old. At this age, they could also help decorate the kite sail with marker pens or even a sticker or 2.
Although too young for any of the construction, they could select plastic bags for the tail. An adult could then cut out and attach the tail.
And of course, kiddy art work on complete plastic bags could then be used for making kites. A bit safer for the kites than letting eager fingers at them, at an earlier stage :-)
If you can find some thin 30cm (12") bamboo skewers in your local shops, try my e-book Making Skewer Kites to help you get a kite in the air. On the cheap! The skewers I use are 2.5mm in diameter. Just use the thinnest ones you can find.
