Mesmerizing Mayan Kites inspired crafts
During summers, a favourite pastime among most children is flying a kite. It is so much fun, especially on a windy day. What better than this could be making their own kites and sending them soaring high into the clouds. It may sound complicated but it’s so much easy to make one that is good looking and is able to fly. Taking about kites brings me thoughts about the beautiful kites flown during some biggest kite festivals in the world. One such extraordinary kites pattern is observed in Mayan Kites. In this post, we shall explore some easy Kite patterns and Mayan Kites inspired craft for kids.
In India, the International Kite Festival (Uttarayan) is regarded as one of the biggest Kite festivals. Months before the festival, the homes in Gujarat begin to manufacture some amazing kites for the festival. There are also, various teams who come from various parts of the world as gigantic kites need an army to flight. They showcase their talent and display their work on art on the kites, Today we are exploring the extraordinary patterns of Mayan Kites inspired craft for kids let’s know a little bit about Mayan culture through the Sumpango Giant kite festival.
