Kid's Stuff

SIMPLICITY :The kite has just one seperate pole and can be assembled by a child, with guidance, in less than a minute. We have sky-tested these kites with kids as young as 3 and found they are very quickly flying solo.The handle is made from certified timber plywood.  It's large loop design makes it easy for little hands to hold and it has tie-off hooks so it won't accidentally unravel.  The kite line is made from 100% natural cotton.

SUSTAINABILITY: Our Lofty Kites are created from recycled ripstop fabric made from waste plastic. The handle is made from certified timber and the line is cotton. All our packaging is plastic free.

DURABIILITY: The fabric is incredibly tough and the fibre glass support rods almost impossible to snap.  Together they make the kite extremely light and strong and give it the flexibility and strength to withstand any sudden crash landings.

Children have relatively large pupils and clearer eye lenses than adults, allowing up to 70 per cent more UV light to reach the retina of a child.

The World Health Organization estimates that as much as 80 per cent of a lifetime’s UV is absorbed into the eye by the time a child reaches 18.

In the UK, exposure to UV is one of the main causes of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts – the leading cause of sight loss that affects one in three people aged over 65 years.

So as parents, we need to protect our children’s eyes from the sun to ensure they have healthy eyesight in the future.

Fortunately, all our kids sunglasses offer 100% protection from harmful UV light.
