Description
This giant kite takes the shape of a butterfly, with broad wings in bright green, orange and pink, edged in cream and set around a deep plum body. Fully opened, it measures about 107cm wide and 75cm long, not counting its three ribbon tails in green, orange and pink, so it makes a big, cheerful shape against a blue sky. Each wing is patterned like the real thing, with dark eyespots near the tips, fine pale veins and rows of round spots along the lower edges. It is made from fabric and plastic and weighs just 0.114KG, light enough to carry anywhere.
We think it belongs anywhere with open space and a bit of wind: the park, a wide field, a sandy beach or a hilltop on a weekend walk. The tails ripple and twist as it climbs, so watching from the ground is half the fun, and laid out on the grass between flights it looks like a giant butterfly resting in the sun. It is a toy made for outdoor play and a fine reason to get out of the house on a bright afternoon, and the butterfly design suits anyone who loves colour, gardens and wildlife.
The sail is a thin printed fabric, just 0.2cm deep when laid flat, carrying the butterfly pattern right out to its cream border, with plastic parts giving it shape. After a day out, shake off any grass or sand, wipe away marks with a damp cloth and let the fabric dry fully before you put it away, keeping it clear of sharp edges so the sail stays smooth. Pick a breezy day and an open spot well away from trees, and it makes a cheerful gift for anyone who would rather be outdoors, ready and waiting for the first good gust.
