Wide open spaces


We have quite a small backyard but it is adequate for many outdoor activities. Occasionally, though, one feels the need to have a good run around. And that is when we seek out wide open spaces. Kite Flying is a great way to enjoy this.

For both my Preschooler and Toddler, there was great joy to just simply run around - at full speed and in any direction. For me, it was comforting to know that they had the space to just run freely without concerns of collisions with objects and/or other people.

Preschoolers and indeed Toddlers benefit from activities that allow them to develop their peripheral vision whilst running at speed in a safe manner - without the 'swarm-like' running that some group activities and team sports typically create.




Thanks to my Kiteflying coach for the idea and tips on how to handle a kite.
