They made kites so in thunder storms we can put a key on the end and electricute ourselves. No one really knows Why the kite was invented as we don't know when the first kite was invented. The first written account of a kite is of it being used for lifting a man into the air in Chinca in BC300. However, kites made from leaves are used by several tribes in Indonesia and Polynesia and are used for fishing. The kite is used to hold the fishing line aloft so fish can be caught out to sea. In Taiwan the Ami people also made leaf kites probably their kites were to scare people or for religious reasons as they belive(d?) that spirts inhabited many unusual objects.

What country did kites originate in?

Kites were first developed in ancient China. Written references to kites in China date back to 200 B.C., but they were probably invented at a much earlier time. Kites were probably derived from cloth banners, similar to modern flags, which streamed out in the wind while attached to cords or flexible wooden rods. The first use for kites was probably for signaling at a distance. The Chinese later used kites for numerous purposes, ranging from religious ceremonies to warfare. The earliest kites were built of wood and cloth. Paper was invented around the year 100 A.D. and was soon adapted for use in kites.
