How the clue works
The definition is Acrobatic toy — a manoeuvrable kite you can pull tricks with. "Was high" gives STUNK, and dropping the K ("about" meaning approximately, so remove it) leaves STUN, then add T (time) for STUNT; next, "that is" gives IE wrapped "about" T (time) to make ITE, with the borrowed K popped back in front to give KITE.
