Get Out and Play!

 

Spring is in the air! The weather is changing and the trees and flowers are blooming... it’s a great time to Get Out and Play! Spring is not the only thing that’s in the air! It’s a great time to fly our Kites and Jelly Flyers!

Did you know that April is National Kite flying month?! The American Kiteflyers Association (AKA) is an organization dedicated to educating the public about kite flying. Their goal during the month of April is to conduct 1,000 kite flying events worldwide! Be part of the action and “Go Fly a Kite!” For more information on AKA you can visit their Web site at www.aka.kite.org.

To Dress Up Your Kite: Use beads and gems and even sparkle glitter to decorate the kite you colored. You can add a tail by tying a fabric ribbon approximately 24” long to the bottom frame of your kite. The tail helps balance your kite. Decorate your tail by tying fabric bows along the length of the kite or tie several strips of fabric of varying lengths to the bottom frame of your kite.

Jelly Flyers: Ever hear of Jelly Tag? Our Jelly Flyers are so soft to the touch you can play tag and not have to chase your opponent... let the Jelly Flyer do it for you. Aim in the direction your opponent is running and give the Jelly Flyer a flip of the wrist. See if your Jelly Flyer can tag your opponent.
