Kite flying is a recreational activity where a lightweight structure, known as a kite, is flown in the air at the end of a long string. Kites are typically made from materials like paper, plastic, or fabric, and are supported by a frame. This activity is often enjoyed on windy days, as the wind provides the lift needed to keep the kite airborne. People of all ages participate in kite flying, making it a popular pastime around the world. It can be done individually or in groups, and many communities host kite festivals to celebrate the art of kite making and flying.
