These kite kits include:

- instructions for easy kite making

These kites use simple construction methods and materials that are familiar to children and easy to find around the home, so that they will be encouraged to go on to making more kites for themselves. The materials include lightweight high-density plastic for the sails, bamboo for spars, plastic ribbon for tails, adhesive labels to hold the kite together, laminated cardboard handles and approx 35m of waxed nylon line.

The kites can be decorated by the children and they will have their own individually crafted kite that will fly. I use Vivids to decorate the kites. Soft crayons and some soft pastels will also work. Stickers and glitter glue are good, too. Water-based marker will wipe off. Use a supermarket bag to test your product and make sure it sticks.

The kite kits are sold individually at $7.00 each or, for sets of 20 or more of any one type, with the materials supplied in bundles, the price is $4.50 each.

The Kite Lady has designed laminated cardboard winders with easy grip handles and line winding area for little fingers to manage easily. They come with 34m of waxed nylon for children to wind their own line - good practice for their flying session!

Line and winder sets can be purchased in packs of 20 - SBLWS $30
