I think mine was a diamond/double pyramid shape. I do remember it was red and yellow. And no, it didn't fly!!

Even my youngest could probably keep that up... it has been very gusty here on the Central Coast NSW too. I look forward to tiring them out with this tomorrow. :-) The plastic bag kite is definitely a great idea!

Here we tend to fly them on Portstewart strand - but have not yet done it this year. Thanks for the inspiration. A great way to tire out active kids!
