My extensive research on this matter (five seconds on wookieepedia) says kites ARE a thing: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_kite and because it's star wars, this simple childhood pleasure involves combat for some reason. Fingers-crossed that Kylo get's beaten up by a kite in the next film.
Whimsy is definitely forbidden on Arkanis, but I bet exhibitions of The Decadent Distractions Of The New Republic were popular as class field trips, kids coming in to perfect their disdainful sneers. Hux still doesn't know what a kite is because he never had to go on those trips, he's been sneering at a post-graduate level since before he could walk.
