Midweek Creations - Easy Kites for Windy Weather

I have fond memories of flying kites during elementary school and while toddlers love to see them being flown, it may be difficult and frustrating for them to begin flying a kite being so young. A great alternative is to get a kite for yourself so they can begin to see how to fly one (and maybe help you hold it once you get it in the air) and then pick up a few balloons and some string to make a kite for your child. You can either fill the balloon up with helium or not (you can challenge older toddlers to make their balloon fly when they run with it) and have your child decorate it with some markers. Be sure to give them a loop for their wrist when tying the string and give them plenty of room and time outside to explore their new found kite.
