While momentarily dismayed, the kids were not out of ideas yet. They took their kite strings and ran around and around the playground until they had wrapped it up good and tight. At least they were able to still have fun.

No one can do this...
And by that I mean: make a $1 kite fly...it just doesn't work. I know that some people think the dollar store is the best thing on earth, but I don't share that sentiment. It is full of crap. I'd rather not receive a present than get something from the dollar store that breaks within five minutes of purchase. What a waste of time and money! I'd much rather save up and buy something worth owning. Case in point: the kids recieved some dollar store kites as a gift at Easter time. In the high winds today, we had the idea to pull them out and try to fly them. The kids were really excited, but their hopes of kite-flying fun were dashed within five minutes as the kites came crashing to earth and broke into many pieces.

I agree 100% the dollar store is full of crap. Glad the kids weren't too upset!
It was the very cause of Noah "flipping out" at the park, trying to make it work one windy day! Funny to watch a grown man have such a melt down over $1 useless plastic. And yes, it ended up looking just like your picture! (There must be no such thing as wind in China where they are made!)
The kids showed great optimism.
I'm always amazed if we make it home from the dollar store before something has broken. My kids have learned not to get upset anymore. The only good thing about that place is that it makes for a cheap incentive--the kids still love to go there for some reason.
