Flying Kites With Kids: 3 Things To Consider
Flying kites has proven to be a fun family activity for generations of children. Little boys and girls love running around outdoors on a gentle windy day while watching these colorful crafts soar and challenging siblings to see who can get theirs highest in the sky. There are various factors to consider before planning your outing. However, armed with just a few pointers, enjoying a day of flying kites with the kids can be a breeze.
Choosing The Right Kite Design
Any well-stocked kite store will house a seemingly endless array of single line, multi-lines, stunt and power styles. Limitless options are great for the enthusiast, but can convolute the buying process for the inexperienced customer. Knowing which style to choose for your family will play an important role in the fun factor.
A Single Line Kite provides the best family friendly selection. Dubbed 'single line' based on its one string used for flying, they easily withstand medium strength winds. This design stability ensures simple use for rookie users and smaller hands. The delta shape is usually the easiest shape to control, especially for small children.
Best Places And Conditions To Fly Kites
Soccer fields, parks and beaches can all provide a great location for your excursion. However, if these aren't feasible options for you, seek a large, open and treeless area to maximize your family's protection while using your single line kite. Always avoid spaces near power lines as getting caught in a live wire poses a huge safety risk. Never fly in a crowded area over other people or animals. Also, check the weather report to ensure you won't get caught in an electrical storm and always let your children wear gloves to protect their small hands from rope burns and/or cuts.
Practice Makes Perfect
Now that you've found the perfect day, style and place, it's finally time to head out. To help manage their expectations and prevent unnecessary frustration, it's a good idea to inform the kids beforehand that they may not actually get off the ground during their maiden voyage. Help them understand that, as with most activities, successful flights require much practice.
With the parental pep talk out of the way, you are officially ready to get kiting! Have the children watch you get airborne as a visual tutorial to help them appreciate the process and allow them to take their turn mirroring your actions. Explain the wind's important role in their success as they toss the kites into the air and learn to feel when it gets caught in the current. Instruct them on how to let the appropriate amount of line out at just the right moment to ensure optimum vertical lift.
Once they get the hang of the technique, design little friendly contests to further develop their skills and increase the family fun. First, count the attempts it takes in between each successful liftoff. When the children are consistently achieving successful runs, bring along a stopwatch and time how long their craft stays off the ground during each effort. As their skills increase, you can even challenge them to see if they can keep the single line kite sky bound longer than you.
Flying can be fun for the entire family, as long as you know what to expect. With the right equipment, some patience and a little bit of practice, you can create memories the entire family will remember for a long time.
