Have you ever built or flown a kite with your friends and family before? My kids and I love kites and the feeling of joy we have when we are running behind them watching them dip and fly in the sky. We went out and flew some kites over the holiday and felt inspired to research and understand kite flying. Do you ever wonder where this essential piece of your childhood came from? Kites were first created approximately 2800 years ago in China.
The earliest known kites were flat and often rectangular. They were mostly made from bamboo and silk. Often times
they were decorated with legendary figures and fitted with whistles to make musical sounds while flying.
