Kite colouring page
A kite to print on A4 paper or to colour on the screen. Easy
How to use this page
On paper: tap "Print the blank page". Only the picture is printed, with a line for the child's name. On screen: tap a colour, then tap a part of the picture to fill it. "Undo" takes back the last fill, and white rubs a part out. Nothing is saved; the picture is fresh each time you open it.
Colour ideas
Give each of the four parts of the kite its own colour. The bows on the tail can match. Clouds stay white.
For a card or a wall decoration, bright colours with strong contrast work best: put light colours next to dark ones. A finished page can be cut out and pasted on coloured chart paper to make a greeting card.
