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.

Pack - a great resource for teachers of kite making

Julie - the Kite Lady runs workshops which include
a talk about kites, their history, why they fly and how to
make them fly. Kite workshops, including Christchurch's celebrated
TV2 KidsFest, allow
me to share my passion for the joys of kiting with children
of all ages.
|
You can also have a Kite Party - where
kids can have a fun, creative activity making and decorating
their own "guaranteed to fly" kite
kit.
