Create core memories with colourful animal kites suitable for both Adults and Children

Kite Flying is something that can be enjoyed by a person of all ages, and I have such fond memories of buying a new cheap kite from the garden centre to then spending hours on the field behind my parents house running around to try and set my kite into the sky.  The kites were usually in the animal shape of a bird or snake.  Looking back, the kites are made from awful materials - however the core memories fill me with so much joy looking back.

I wanted to put together a list of animal styled kites that although are aimed at Children, but can be quite happily enjoyed by Adults.
