Kite flying is a recreational activity where a lightweight structure, known as a kite, is flown in the air at the end of a string. Kites are typically made from materials like paper, plastic, or fabric, and are designed to catch the wind. The activity is enjoyed in open spaces such as parks or beaches, where there is enough wind to lift the kite. The art of kite flying has a long history and is practiced in many cultures around the world. It can be a solo activity or a social event, often accompanied by competitions and festivals celebrating kites and their designs.
