I don’t know about you, but I love driving down Beach Boulevard during National Kite Month. Seeing the different shapes and colors dance in the clear blue sky is mesmerizing.
My favorite way to celebrate is by spending a day at the beach with my family. We pack up our kites, beach chairs, coolers, blankets, snacks, and head to the beach. I love watching my daughter’s face light up with excitement, as the wind takes her kite away up into the sky. It’s a wonderful thing to see.
Then I hear Mr. Banks in my ear singing that famous song, “Let’s Go Fly A Kite” and I realize I am experiencing pure joy.
That’s what flying a kite is all about for me, being present and having tons of fun with my family.
Your toddler will jump for joy when they see that their favorite Disney character is on it. For kids that are older, there are kites with butterflies, dragonflies, automobiles, 3D shapes, or the good old classic diamond shaped kite.
The best part about flying kites is that people of all ages can enjoy it. I assure you there is a perfect kite for everyone.
