Remember wanting to be taller? Waiting, measuring and hoping that you would wake up and be able to reach a certain shelf? Tin can stilts are a wonderful and simple way to have fun being taller! With just a couple items likely laying around the house, you can have a world of tall walking fun.
What you need:
- Two sturdy cans, like old paint cans or coffee cans
- String or rope
What you do:
- Punch two holes across from each other on the sides of the can, near the top.
- Thread the strong string or rope through the can.
- Tie string off with a secure knot so that the loop reaches just above the child’s waist.
