We hear a lot of wonderful
stories from people using our kite kits. Several
stand out as wonderful examples of the fun and
sense of accomplishment people feel when they
make something that works from a kit. One
related the experience of an 8 year old who had
never shown any interest in building any kind of
 kit.
He went to Florida for winter break with our
Delta kite kit. After a very successful day of
kite making and kite flying, he then asked for
other types of kits to build and is on his way
to becoming an active kit builder. Another boy
had never flown a kite before, let alone make
one. His was the first built and up in the air.
The teacher had a hard time getting him to come
inside (He could
be the poster child for National Kite Month.)
The success that both boys felt upon building
and flying their own kites just strengthens that
“I did it myself” feeling.
Kites…on a Roll®
News
Recycle part of Kites…on a Roll®? The
kite sail is a #4 category which lets you
recycle it with other plastic bags. We have
found biodegradable tails. Each roll is
1” x 100”, long enough to make 5’ tails for 20
kites. The material is made from wood pulp and
degrades in 6-24 months. We have added yellow
and pink to our tail material selections.
