kite making

Wind toy craft

Kite making is the craft of constructing kites—lightweight frames covered with paper, fabric, or plastic, designed to fly on wind at the end of a line.

The practice ranges from simple childhood projects with sticks and newspaper to elaborate traditional arts in cultures where kite design carries centuries of refinement: She learned kite making from her grandfather in Weifang.
