Kids just love kites and although some won't admit to it right away, so do most adults!
Hopefully we all still have a little kid inside, and one of the best ways we can find ours is to spend some time flying kites with a young one.

Udgam pre-primary children celebrated kite flying with full zest.Parents of all the children were invited to fly kites with their ward.
The school also distributed eco-friendly kites among the children. It was a breath taking colour fiesta with multicolour kites flying high in sky and children yelling and shouting with glee…
