Stand Up Straight

Want to stand a little taller? Stilts are all well and good, but Jack accomplishes this feat in It’s All Greek To Me, Jack by simply standing up for what he believes in.

Are the children in your life always musing about how they can’t wait to be bigger?  Well, maybe it’s not quite along the lines of what they mean, but you can still introduce a fun activity to them this July 27th to help set them on the right path.  Make your own stilts!

 This Tuesday celebrate Walk On Stilts Day by adding a few inches to your stature with the aid of just a couple of items.  Simply take two empty coffee cans and carefully punch four holes – though the bottom of the cans and evenly spaced along the edges – into each one with an ice pick.  Make sure that there are no rough spots where the kids can cut themselves and then thread some twine through the holes and tie them inside the containers to create two parallel foot straps for each stilt.

 Have the children take turns walking tall on your homemade heighteners!  Make sure that they go slowly, and you can even assign them a buddy to walk alongside for added safety.  Above all else, make sure that they have fun when they are above all else!
