2 Pack Kites - Large Rainbow Kite and Red Mollusc Octopus with Long Colorful Tail for Children Outdoor Game,Activities,Beach Trip Great Gift to Kids Childhood Precious Memories

Such bright colors! My kids just loved getting these for Easter :)The triangle kite was super easy to assemble, just needed to put 3 stick pieces in place and attach the string.It takes some running to get the kite up in the air, but once you've gotten it up it sails nicelyMy first error was attaching the string to the side of where the put the stick pieces.Flip over kite and attach string on opposite side through the metal holeThese kites are durable- way worth it compared to the cheap plastic $1.50- $8 kites in the grocery storesThe material of these kites are like fabric like material of some sort yet look waterproof so if they get water the flying won't be affected.I'm impressed with the quality and like the fact you get 2 in this package for extra fun :)The octopus is just as cute, but my son was more interested in playing with the actual one that looks like a kite

these kites were so fun. the octopus flew more easily. but both did fly very nice and high. they are a little tricky to pack back up when done. they want to tangle up a lot.

I've taken these out a few times with the kid now, and have some feedback. Overall, I'd say go ahead and buy this, it's a good value, but you know for $20 for 2 kites, you're not getting the best kites in the world.Assembly: Nothing to it for the octopus. The Delta isn't bad, but the spars are a tough fit (and they should be, just be aware). Weirdly, the spars that go down the wings don't go the full length, leaving about 1/3 of the wings just flapping. That's fine, it might add some stability, but it makes it a bit harder for it to catch the wind than it should be.Flying: The octopus flies in relatively light wind. Uncontrollable, but the long tail keeps it mostly upright, and re-launching it is very simple. The Delta doesn't want to stay up. It'll go up for a few seconds, but it's unstable. It needs more weight in the tail or a longer tail probably to keep it from rotating around and nose-diving. Still fun, but far more active in re-launching it. The handles for the strings are super basic plastic and they work, but are hard for little folks to hold on to without just releasing tons of string ... and the clips are in the wrong place to prevent the string from coming further out. I had the kids just ham-fist the string on the spool rather than rely on the clips.Durability: Both kites have now survived some pretty stiff winds, and being dragged at full speed through fields and weeds as kids try to launch them from the ground without picking them up. That's great. But the handles for the string are flexible and a bit brittle (the clips to keep the strings from moving broke pretty quickly). They'll

I'll admit the instructions to assemble the rainbow kite were a bit confusing. But once I got it figured out, we were quickly up and flying on a perfect kite-flying day. Lot of fun was had by all, until a kiddo let go of the kite and the handle got securely lodged in the tip of a 70 foot tree. That kite lived its best life for over 5 hours at 250 feet in high winds. The string didn't break. The fabric didn't rip. The poles didn't snap. It eventually came down and was in perfect condition. If that's not durable, I don't know what is.The string is extremely long... no issues there. And while I didn't personally fly the octopus kite, my son took it to a park and said it was easy to fly. Overall this is a great deal for 2 durable kites.

Cute kites, but the rainbow one came damaged. The rods would not stay connected from the first time I assembled the kite, and I had to end up taping them together just so my daughter could fly it. No issues with the octopus kite so far.

The media could not be loaded. This item comes with 2 pretty well made kites. The instructions on the octopus are a little hard to understand, but just tie your string at the ends of the gathered strings. We had a blast flying these kites. Keep in mind we were in a marina by a lake so the winds are pretty strong there. Kites went up with no problems!

We liked the kite a lot - had a lot of fun.The rainbow kite is very easy to fly - doesn’t need much wind. However, it’s a bit tricky to assemble. It also gets ripped at the front after some abuse.The Octopus kite is not as easy to fly compared to the rainbow one. But in moderately windy times, it does great.I’d recommend buying - I felt it’s worth it.

We’ve been getting cheap kites from Walmart for our 3 yr old for quite some time with little air time success.After recently moving to an acre lot we figured it was time for an upgrade so we purchased these kites.The reviews looked great along with pictures of the quality. Since we were expecting 20mph winds today I purchased last night with prime and they arrived just in time for the wind today.The octopus kite appeared to be sturdy and of good quality until flight time. It climbed quickly but the engineering of the kite did not allow it to stay in flight long without it continuing to crash.The second kite did not have all stitching so was not able to fly.Needless to say, we had two three year old kiddos happy 1 minute and sad the next.Save your time and money and go for something more expensive or better quality.Will be sending back to do the same!
