Why it works

A single-line kite is one of the few things a five-year-old can fly almost without help. Günther is a German kite maker and this is one of the simple ones: it goes together in a few steps and comes with the handle and line. A windy day on the beach or on open ground is taken care of.

Our verdict

A good spring or summer gift for little money. In the depths of winter and in a city it will spend months put away.

They will like it if

  • you spend summers on the coast or go to the village
  • they like running about outdoors
  • you are after a small gift that is different from the usual toy

Bear in mind

  • without wind it does not fly: it needs between 15 and 45 km/h
  • it needs open space with no cables or trees
  • the sail is thin plastic and one snag tears it

What's in the box

  • Measures about 92 x 62 cm
  • Includes handle and line
  • Polyethylene sail
  • Recommended wind: 15 to 45 km/h
