Tin Can Stilts

Materials:

• two large empty cans (washed)
• rope (10 foot length)
• large nail & hammer

Coffee cans work well for this project, also the large cans of powdered baby formula.

Using the large nail, make holes on opposite sides of each can about one inch from the bottom. Thread a five foot length of rope (cotton clothes-line is ideal) through each can and tie the ends to form a loop. To walk on the stilts, stand on the bottom of the cans and pull hard on the ropes to keep them close to your feet.

These stilts are best used on a grassy area as they take practice.
