There may be no heat waves in northern climes, but there are bound to be nice breezy days when kite flying comes into its own. This is something generations of children have enjoyed, but a colourful kite soaring into the air never loses its appeal, particularly when you are the one holding the string.

In the same feature we also look at parachutes which are a popular piece of equipment in many nurseries and have the added advantage of being suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
After all the excitement of kites and parachutes it's time for some quieter activities.
