by
Melissa Jones
| Purpose of Equipment: | To develop confidence and balance. |
|---|---|
| Materials: | 2 Scrap 2x2's, at least 55" long 2 Scrap 2x4's, at least 4' long 6 long nails |
| How to Make It: | Nail one of the 2x4 to the side of the 2x2 about 6 inches from the bottom. Do the same for the other. |
| Costs: | Total cost $3.00 |
| How to Use It: | Use the stilts on soft ground, where the bottom ends won't slip and cause a fall. First make sure that you're holding them so that the step pieces face each other. Next, get a friend or two to help hold you steady while you put your feet on the step pieces. Once on, hold the leg pieces while you walk. You may find it easier if you place the stilts' top ends behind your shoulders. |
