Flying Kites


Games, toys, and entertainment back in yesteryear was often just a made-up thing by kids or theri parents. One of the things that could be made at home was a kite. Most any light-weight material like newspaper would do for the main material. Then a few small sticks, wood pieces, for the frame, and some string would put you in business. Then there was the business of a tail. It was needed to give the kite stability in the air. Some of the tails were quite elabrate as seen in the photo.
