This is a very exciting project for Key Stages 1 and 2, which introduces kites as a decorative surface combining the processes of screen-printing and block-printing. The screen-printing process is a lot easier than many people think and this Project Teaching Pack gives step-by-step instructions and a comprehensive materials list to enable you to successfully undertake this process.

This pack describes the process of screen-printing and gives you numerous template ideas and easy to follow instructions.  It contains detailed photographs of the different stages of the process, and many examples of children's artwork.  After printing and construction the kites will fly; detailed drawings and notes on construction of the kites are included. The pack also contains great photographs of  kites made by children, and some kites are also shown in the photo gallery.  With the exception of consumable materials and equipment the pack includes everything necessary to try screen-printing and to make a kite which will fly.

Many teachers tell us that they have screen-printing equipment in their schools that has been lying around unused for years as no-one knows how to use it! This Resource Pack is therefore the beginners guide you have all been waiting for!

The pages of each Project Teaching Pack are in individual plastic sleeves to protect them against spills and damage in the classroom and the packs are in a sturdy loose-leaf folder so that materials can be removed for display.  Each Project Teaching Pack contains a detailed materials and equipment list.  Packs are also now available in pdf form, offering a considerable saving on printed packs.

This project is suitable for Key Stage 2 and beyond. Using a medieval theme the pack describes screen-printing in detail to produce exciting artwork.
