The Huckleberry Years

Fathers and sons have a lot in common. For example, according to statistics, they spend the majority of their time sitting in front of screens – computers, TVs, game consoles. But that can’t be all. Childhood is an adventure – life can be one too! And even adults can still enjoy a real life outside the world of IT. That’s why we are constantly providing new ideas and impulses for the Huckleberry Years. Not only for boys, but for girls and adults too!

Kite Flying

Fall is the time for flying kites. The harvested fields provide the perfect place and the steady wind the perfect means. So why not get out in the fresh air? No, not with a high-tech device that you purchased at the store with all its gadgets, but with a kite – built with your own hands using a few simple materials. And it’s not hard at all.

To find out how to build your own kite, all you have to do is go online to http://www.pbs.org/benfranklin/exp_kite.html or http://www.wdrmaus.de/spielen/basteln/drachen/. Be inspired!

Do you remember: the smell of glue? sticky fingers? that exhilarating moment when the kite leaves your hands and (hopefully) soars into the sky? the euphoria of creating something and the pride of having built it yourself? There is still plenty of time to go this fall, so let go and live!
