Creating new kites has been a wonderful endeavor for the toy project, yet also rewarding has been taking orders from outside institutions to make custom kites as well.

King's Academy Partnership

In the spirit of diverse community involvement, the toy project recently partnered with King’s Academy in holding an open day for kite flying and other fun diversions.
