Kite Clip Art
Tips To Help You Find The Best!
Looking for kite clip art? Frustrated by not always finding a 'kites' category? Here's the info you need! It's mainly just a matter of going to the right websites and using the search function.
To save you some bother, I've conveniently listed some good sites
which provide a variety of great clip art depicting kites. I also give detailed
instructions to find and use the site's search function, so it returns
only relevant clip-art results.
Although there's plenty of free clip art on the Web, you will find that very little of it is searchable. Hence you can't select out just the kite-related stuff. You will probably have to spend a few dollars to get quality images onto your hard drive. Times have changed!
When the weather's good and you have the time, it's great to get out with a kite or 3. But what about on bad weather days? Then it's time to pull out...
"Kites Up!" - my downloadable kite-flying board game! Apart from towing indoor kites, doing a spot of imaginary flying is the next best thing :-)
