This nostalgic toy series by Haptic Lab design studio is crafted for curious kids who love the great outdoors. The set of sailing ship kites comes in two different sizes and five colors including yellow, white, azure and navy blue. Inspired by vintage sailboat models and retro flying contraptions, these handcrafted accessories are a collector's item that is guaranteed to result in hours of outdoor fun.
Each of Haptic Lab's sail ship kites is handcrafted and is designed to resemble varying boat styles that are a nod to the past. These historically themed kites are a nostalgic toy that celebrates impeccable craftsmanship while encouraging kids to get outside rather than playing indoors -- a common side-effect of too much screen time.
