As part of the research on about a traditional playful object, we tried to register some kinds of learning produced by kite flying, focusing on informal learning, as well as bridge-toys as a privileged transmission. Powerful in its capacity of joining people of different ages together, these toys can represent singular translations for each player with meaningful impact in their life experience once they place full body quotidian learning at stake, emergent from the articulation between people, objects and other elements that affect one another mutually in the production of effects. Using the ActorNetwork Theory as the theoretical methodological support, we followed some playing groups during the 2005 and 2006 flying kite seasons and interviewed people who had kite as a privileged object in their childhood. This material's fragment was mixed with academic and non academic texts.
