Kids Kites FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is the recommended age for using kites for kids?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kids that are five to six years old are at a prime age for their first introduction to kites. They\u2019re young enough to get a lot of excitement from flying a kite, and they\u2019re old enough hold it. Of course, this doesn\u2019t mean that older kids can\u2019t get enjoyment from kite-flying as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do kites for kids come with the string and spool?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lot of kids kites already come string and spool, but if a kite doesn\u2019t come with these or if the string or spool becomes damaged, you can buy a replacement kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are kites for kids usually made of?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lot of kites available today are made of plastic or lightweight, durable fabric, often ripstop polyester or nylon. The frames are often made from fiberglass, wood, or plastic rods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      These kites are great for kids who want to try out dives and somersaults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Parafoils<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                      Sleds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                      Just like parafoils, these require no assembly and are easy to fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Needless to say, these kites \u2014 especially the three-dimensional ones \u2014 are simply captivating to watch. What kid doesn\u2019t want to fly a dragon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      How to use kites for kids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                      Once you\u2019ve bought a kite and are eager to fly it with your child, you might be wondering how to get started. Just follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      • Choose a large, open area to fly the kite that\u2019s free of crowds of people, buildings, trees, and especially powerlines.<\/span><\/li>
                      • Make sure there\u2019s enough wind speed (but not too much) for the kite in the location where you want to fly it.<\/span><\/li>
                      • Assemble the kite indoors, away from the wind<\/span><\/li>
                      • To launch the kite, face away from the wind and hold the kite up. Once it starts to catch the wind, let the line out bit by bit. If you notice the wind slowing, keep your kite steady by reeling it back in a little.<\/span><\/li>
                      • Once the kite is flying, use the line to adjust its course, keeping a steady amount of tension on it. If the kite starts to loop or dive, you can let out some of the line to get it back on track.<\/span><\/li>
                      • When you\u2019re ready to bring the kite back down, slowly start reeling your line in, keeping light tension on the line so that it doesn\u2019t tangle. If the kite won\u2019t stop looping, you may need your child to hold the reel while you walk to the kite with the line under your sleeved arm or gloved hand.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        Benefits of Flying Kites for Kids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                        Low-cost fun<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                        Lots of kites for kids cost only a small amount and usually include everything you need to get them up in the air. Plus, kites are something children can play with over and over. All in all, it\u2019s a very cost-effective way to have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Enhances Problem-Solving Skills<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                        Sometimes kites just don\u2019t do what kids want them to do. This opens up an opportunity for a child to pause and think through why the flight didn\u2019t go as planned and what to do differently next time. It\u2019s important for kids to start developing this kind of problem-solving and critical thinking from a young age, and a kite can be a good learning tool in this regard. Plus, the better kids get at kite-flying and problem-solving, the more confident they will become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Outdoor Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                        With childhood obesity on the rise, parents are often on the lookout for fun ways to get kids to leave the TV and play outside. Kite-flying is great way to not only spend time with your children but to increase their physical strength and inject some light exercise into their day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Choosing the Right Kids Kite<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                        When looking for the best kites for your kids, you want to consider the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Wind<\/strong> - If you live in an area that not known for its high wind speeds, you want a kite that\u2019s able to fly in gentle breezes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Climate<\/strong> - Kites are best flown on clear days. Don\u2019t fly kites in poor weather, especially when there are thunderclouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Season<\/strong> - Depending on where you live, some seasons are better for kite-flying than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Type of kite<\/strong> - Some varieties of kites are great for children of a wide range of ages. Others are better suited for older children. Check the age recommendation of any kite you\u2019re considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Size of kite<\/strong> - Some kites are too big for smaller kids. Again, check a kite\u2019s recommended age range before purchasing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Activity<\/strong> - Kite-flying can be a great way for your kid to get some light exercise outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Stability<\/strong> - Some kites are sturdier than others by design, so if the winds are going to be particularly gusty, you want a kite with a strong frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
