As a child, we made our own kites, ripping up sheets to tie on the tail, making the kites do loops, getting them stuck in trees and running around the garden dragging them along the ground. Kids just love kites and although some won't admit to it right away, so do most adults! By choosing the right kite and understanding a few basic tips, you can avoid most of the frustrations, and provide hours of simple, inexpensive fun for your kids and for yourself!
Kite flying can be a fun and rewarding hobby. And, best of all it gets us outside in the fresh air moving around. We now all have our own kites. Eva and Bianca love flying their kites. Paulo and I enjoy it too. We don't always realize it, but it's the simple things that bring the most pleasure in life and time spent together is the best time of all!

Oh my gosh! I completely forgot about paper dolls! I had so many of them. I would spend hours dressing them up in their paper outfits. They were a treasure.
Such great memories. :)
Oh goodness, I well recall my childhood kite-flying days and I just have to laugh. Mine were never exactly sky-worthy, but boy did I have fun putting them all together (especially the tails).
Climbing trees, paper dolls, tea parties and baseball rank at the head of my best childhood passtimes. What joy it was to be a child of the 50s!

Kite flying is one of the oldest pastimes in the world. No one can say with certainty precisely how old it is, but we do know that it goes back for many centuries, and that the beginnings of the story have an eastern setting.
