rosshaden Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Hi everyone, We have been having a great time flying kites with our grandkids; but I want to make sure we are doing everything we can to keep it fun and safe for them. What are some of the best techniques / tips for teaching young children how to fly kites? If there are any accessories ; we can make to our current kites to make them more kid-friendly; I would d love to hear about those too. Are there specific types of kites that are easier for kids to handle? What about safety tips to prevent accidents / losing control of the kite? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Thank you rosssplunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunduki Vlieger Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Hi! I started flying fighter kites with my then 5-year-old son. 2 and 4-liners were still too difficult. A single line quickly becomes too boring. I launched the Fighter Kite for my son and put it in his hand. Then he just has to steer it with tension. Then I put mine in the air. The child then had a lot of fun "fighting" against his father and of course won often 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
