Perfect for kids of all ages and one of our favorite family kites:
Squeaky the Octopus is one of the finest family kites we sell. From toddlers to seniors, this awesome family kite's fun playful personality is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face. Our Octopus kite requires no assembly and has an extremely wide wind range. It is one of the easiest kites to fly.
Includes: flying line / clear plastic storage bag / fully assembled.
If you don’t like the "wavy gravy" rainbow look of Squeaky, you can try is buddy “Crazy”. When you see him, you will know why we call him Crazy! CLICK HERE TO SEE CRAZY THE OCTOPUS
TOM’S NOTES:
This kite is an absolute home run with little kids. So easy to fly that anyone with a pulse can be flying in seconds. Squeaky’s colorful sky dance and always moving tentacles will help keep the attention of even the youngest and most easily distracted kite fliers. If you are planning an out door birthday party or barbeque, bring eight or ten Squeaky the Octopus kites and your party will soar!
One fun party activity with this kite is to turn your gang loose with black felt pens like a Sharpies, and have them add their own messages or decorations to the kite. At a birthday party or baby shower, we suggest that you take one kite and to ask all of your guests to write a special message to the Birthday boy or girl, or the future parents. The finished kite is will be transformed in to a treasured keepsake that will be cherished for years.
You may find other octopus kites out there but we find ours to be far and away the best family Octopus Kite on the planet, or dancing above it!
One question though: Why do they call an octopus’s legs “tentacles” when we all know there are only eight of them!

My husband and I bought one for each of our twin nephews' 5th birthday (one Squeaky the other Wavy), and just as the folks at Highline Kites assured us, the kites were super easy to get up in the air. The colors are wonderful and the tails or 'tentacles' added a lot of movement and life to them. Occasionally one would come down, but was easily brought back up in the air. The handle is good for small hands to hold on to, and there are a couple of ways to secure the line if you don't want the kite to get too high. But if you do want it to go higher, there's plenty of line. Great day with "Squeaky' and 'Wavy'! This was our nephews' first time kite-flying, and we can't wait to do with them again!
