Did you know that many countries around the world celebrate the warm weather of Spring with kites? Countries such as Guatemala, Australia, Bali, Italy, Pakistan, China and Japan all have National Kite Flying Holidays!
This weekend, in celebration of World Kite Month, West Texas families joined the OJAC in creating kites of styles and designs from all over the globe!
They designed Japanese Koinobori, Basant Patang, Maori Manu Tukutuku and Guatemalan Barriletes Gigantes just to name a few!
Families enjoyed a Virtual scavenger hunt of Kite-themed artwork from the museum collection, added to our Community Spring Wishes Mural, and enjoyed Spring games, music and refreshments.
