Flying kites is a wonderful hobby. Did you know that kites originated in China around two thousand years ago? The original shape of a kite was a hexagon (a shape that has six sides), though it comes in various shapes and sizes now. A dragon kite, which is a train made up of many sub-kites, is one of the most popular shapes.

Kite flying is a fun hobby for children. It can be done from anywhere, and you will get to enjoy the fresh air while spending time outdoors. All you need to do is to choose an open location that is free from trees and electricity poles. Beaches and parks are ideal locations. Make sure to keep safety in mind at all times!
