Julie - the Kite Lady has been designing and making
her kite kits for many
years. The kite kits include all materials required for assembly,
pre-cut to size, flying line and handles, and straightforward
instructions for easy kite making. They use simple construction
methods and materials that are familiar to children and easy
to find around the home. To assemble the kite kits children
need to be able to tie knots. The kites can be decorated by
the children so they will have their own individually crafted
kite that will fly.
Over 12,000 kites are bundled up and sent throughout New
Zealand each year. These are used in schools and fit within
the technology, language or maths curricula.

Julie - the Kite Lady runs workshops which include
making and decorating a kite kit, learning about the best
materials to use for making kites which are usually found
around the home, talking about why kites fly, how to make
them fly and how to fly safely,
Kite workshops, including Christchurch's celebrated TV2
KidsFest, allow me to share my passion for the joys
of kiting with children of all ages.
