Our Plastic Bag Kite

We made your 'kite for kids' today out of a plastic bag.

Attached is a photo of my 6 year old flying it. He has never flown a kite before.

Great success.

Thanks for posting the instructions :-)

That's a fine high-visibility version of the Tiny Tots Diamond design he's flying there! On light enough line (less than 20 pound breaking strain), this little kite will happily fly at around 100 feet off the ground too.

For those non-flying days

As mentioned earlier, there's another alternative to towing indoor kites if it's just not possible to fly outdoors...

"Kites Up!" is my downloadable board game. It's a PDF file which has all the documentation for the game plus images for all the components. Tokens, cards, the board itself and so on. Anyway, just click that link to see more info :-)

It's a printable PDF file. Make a diamond, delta or sled step-by-step. They fly hundreds of feet up for hours on end. Woohoo!

Could you do me just a small favor though? If you're over 16, please sign up for Tethered Flying - my free twice-per-month publication. Here's just a sampling of the total content...

* 3 "tips of the month" (for beginners, parents & experienced)
* A fresh "photo of the month" (+ link to big hi-res version)
* A fresh "flight report of the month" (my personal flying)
* Updates on the latest board game from my-best-kite.com

Any questions? Here's more info on both the e-book and the newsletter.
