Kids love kites and the feeling that comes with using the power of the wind to lift those pretty things up and decorate the sky. In find it this week; we list some of the outlets stocking kites of different sizes and designs for kids.

Kites come in different designs; including diamonds, dragons, box and cellular kites among others; and come in different sizes for all ages including grown ups.

The kites are believed to date back some 3000 years; but our search found out they are not so popular in Nairobi with only a few outlets stocking them.

China is believed to be the origin of kites since the earliest written records are from China; and maretials for making them were readily available.The kite was made using Bamboo for the frame, and silk for the sail and bridle; and had a mythical and religious dimension. This was later experimented as a science instrument for various researches; and was eventually was reproduced throughout Asia, then later in Europe i 13th century  before spreading to  America, Australia and other countries.


In Nairobi, kites can be found at Toy World, a toy store with branches at the village Market, Yaya Centre, Sarit and ABC Place;stocking kites of different sizes including ones for grown ups. Kites ideal for kids cost between Sh550 and Sh2000 depending on the size; while for grown ups cost up to Sh8000.

Nakumatt supermarket also sells kites for kids with prizes ranging between Sh300 and Sh1995 depending on the size.
