Summary
A traditionally-shaped kite made from plastic, which has a blue background and a pattern of a large yellow sun. The tail is made from a very long tube of blue plastic. There are two plastic sticks forming the frame of the kite - the upright one is pale blue, the slightly curved crossways one is grey. Each end of each of these is held in place with a clear plastic piece. Each of these has been secured with plastic tape. There is a string-holder (controller) attached to the kite through holes in the front to the frame at the back with nylon thread. This thread is then tied to a small white plastic piece which is attached to the end of the kite's 'string', which is then wound round on to the holder (controller). This is made from white plastic, and has a handle shape moulded behind the string winder.
