Why not build more good family memories by planning special creative fun for your children or grandchildren? These stilts remind me of the sturdy wooden stilts my dad made for us kids when we were young, using two solid triangular wooden blocks fastened securely onto two sticks. We had such fun "walking tall" with those stilts!
