Kite kits are not just for kids anymore. We have a complete range of U-build-em kite kits for kids of every age. From primary and secondary school age appropriate kite kits, to kite club co-operative projects, corporate team building kite programs, family activities, picnics and parties.
Sled kites are ideal for first time kite flyers and kite builders of any age. They are simple and easy to build, fly great in winds from 5 to 15 mph and the sail of the kite offers a wonderful space for art.
There are two basic types of sled kites: sleds without spars (sticks) and sleds with spars. Sleds without spars do best in winds from 5 to 10 mph, while sleds with spars tolerate a wider range of wind conditions. Sleds are available as Ready-to-Fly or as U-Build kits.

Eddy Kites (sometimes called the Tail-less Bow Kite or the Bowed Diamond) are one of the most recognized kite memories of our childhood. Using the Sunday Comics, wood sticks, glue and twine, with torn bed-sheet tails, we set our imagination soaring. Eddy’s fly well in 5 to 25 mph winds.
A traditional six-sided Japanese fighting kite. Flown on a taut string the kite is stable and rises rapidly. When the line is released the kite tumbles until tension is put on the line, at which point it takes off in the direction of the spine. Fighting two or more of these kites involves tipping over or destabilizing the opposing kite or cutting its kite line or bridle. The large sail area is the perfect canvas for artists.
