About this deal

I recommend that you work your way up through the sizes of power kite and don't just jump in at a huge 6-meter kite without prior experience - a starting kite like the Flexifoil 2.6m Power Kite is a great kite to get to grips with.

Cut out different shapes from construction paper and have children glue them onto their kites. This activity promotes shape recognition and fine motor skills. Kite Counting Source: feltboardmagic.com Protective bodywear, like gloves, pads, and helmets will ensure that if the worst does happen (and let's be honest - it will) you are fully protected.

Pictures show a MINI model with optional equipment fitted. Due to supply restrictions, the exact configurations shown here may not be available. Please speak to your MINI retailer for further information. Thank you to Elmer's for sponsoring this post. Elmer's provided the glue, but the idea and opinions are mine.

Have children identify and name the colors on their kites. This activity promotes color recognition and language skills. Kite History Source: nationalkitemonth.org Symmetry is our friend! We want our kites to by symmetrical about the vertical axis in area as well as weight. This is helped by cutting your kite sail while folded in half.Add a drop of glue onto the knot you tied on the handle so that the string won't slide off of the handle. The kite’s bridle (where the flying string attached to the kite) can be moved to make flying easier. The goal is to tie the bridle point in such a way that, when hanging upside down, the kite hangs at an angle so that the nose is higher than the tail. NASA has a very detailed explanation of bridle points, kites, and the geometry involved here. Have children race their kites to see whose goes the farthest. This activity promotes gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and socialization. Kite Math Source: homework.study.com Have children measure the length and width of their kites using a ruler. This activity promotes measurement and math skills. Kite Songs Source: youtube.com

Sing songs such as “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” by Mary Poppins or “Up, Up, and Away” by The 5th Dimension. This activity promotes language and socialization. Kite Story Time Source: literacious.com Cut a length of twine or string, and tie one end to a paper straw about ⅔ of the way down. Cut the second straw into thirds to get three pieces. (They don't have to be exactly even. Just eyeball it.) Tie the other end of the twine to the middle of one of the paper straw pieces. This will be the kite handle. Choose the time and place to fly your power kite with the greatest care, for yourself and other people. The classic diamond kite shape has remained unchanged for centuries, but it is now available in a huge range of styles and sizes. The diamond kite is a suitable first kite for children and is very easy to fly, but some consideration should be given to the size of the kite. As we sell many different sizes of diamond kite, some of the larger kites may be unsuitable for smaller children. Another age-old design, the box kite, flies in a different fashion to other kites in that the air passes through the kite to create lift rather than push against a solid face. They usually look as though they shouldn't fly, but in fact are one of the most graceful flying kites there are. Not available in as many forms as the diamond kite, but everyone is beautiful in it's own way.

Whether you're buying for yourself, a child or even want something with a bit more "power" this guide will hopefully ensure you're choosing the right kite. If you're looking for a kite that is both fun and unique, you should consider a creature kite. These kites are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes and represent creatures that you may expect to see in the sky, such as birds or butterflies, or creatures that you may not expect to see soaring through the air, such as octopuses or frogs. Some are diamond in form, some are delta, but some are purely custom shapes to represent the creature.

If you're looking for the best and safest kiting experience, it's important to choose the right kite. I decided to write a little about each type of kite design providing you with the information you need to make the perfect buying choice. Read books such as “Curious George Flies a Kite” by H.A. and Margret Rey or “The Kite Festival” by Leyla Torres. This activity promotes language and literacy skills.

PURE UNFILTERED EXCITEMENT.

Keep it light! Try to use the lightest materials available and to use only what’s necessary to build the kite. They are suitable for children as they produce very little drag, but may also appeal to the adult flyers out there, in fact they are the ideal gift for active grandparents to accompany their grandchildren when they're flying their kites. Single flying line guarantees an easy flying experience. Stunt Kites For preschoolers, kite activities can be both engaging and educational, promoting cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Kite killers (specially designed wristbands that allow the kite to drop out of the sky in an emergency). Protective Bodywear Diamond kites require only the slightest of breezes to fly and can easily reach high altitudes. Most can also be easily adjusted for the angle of flying to ensure a stable flight in a wide range of wind conditions, although they are best flown in moderate wind coming from a constant direction. Diamond kites can usually be disassembled easily by removing the horizontal strut, making them easy to store and transport. Creature Kites
