Flying Kites

in the air.

We do a “pull” and “slack” method with the nylon

and this helps the kite go very far up once the

wind gets hold of it.

Sometimes the kites go up quickly and other
times, they take very long and that can be

frustrating.

However, when the kites go up into the air, we

give the nylon some slack until there is no more

thread on the stick.

This is the reason we put as much thread or nylon
as we can on the stick before departing for our

kite flying activity.

After we have noticed the last bit of thread, we

now tie it to one of the strongest trees nearby

and admire it far up in the sky.

The kites sing and dance gracefully in the
pleasant breeze.
