Medium
and large sizes, your choice. Medium for an 6-7-8 yr. old,
otherwise get
the large. The medium is 52 inches to the top of the pole,
the large is 60
inches. With the younger kids, an adult
will have lots of fun
holding the top of the stilts while the kids learn to stilt walk.
These are the same wooden stilts that I bring to our "Stilts
by the Dozen"
stilt walking parties at festivals and company picnics and birthday
parties.
They are so much fun for both the adults and their kids. We
get rave
reviews.
If this
sounds like a fun activity for your next event, please contact
me.

The wooden stilts are adjustable to 4 heights, the tallest
being 14 inches off the
ground.
The handles are the right size so even small hands can grip
the handle. They
even have a nice groove the length of the stilts for the fingers.
They are sanded smooth, no splinters with a nice
finish. And they have
replaceable rubber feet and foot blocks to last for years.
Can be safely used indoors and out.
Made of natural wood, no chemicals. I mention this only
because I have seen some
stilts that were made of pressure treated wood. PTW leaches
arsenic!
Not a good idea around
kids!
Nice solid wood, light but strong, not
thin metal tubing.
Easiest way to use them is to straighten your arms almost
completely with the
thumbs pointing nearly straight to the ground, and right along side the
seam in
your pants. Then pull up with the arm, while
lifting that foot.
If you want to grab the stilts at chest height instead, you
need to keep your
hands close to your body, so as to keep the stilts straight up and down.
After you learn to use them, some games for two or more are
soccer or crochet
with a wiffle ball, and modified hopscotch. Go by
colors, or even
odd numbers, and don't
make the squares too big.
Easiest game is to simply count how many steps you can take
before you loose
your balance.
I took some stilts to an entertainers business
meeting/social. Within two
hours one of the kids counted over 100 steps with out losing her
balance!
Another is to practice stepping over paper bags, front and
sideways, etc.
FAQ: "Aren't they dangerous?"
They start at about 8 inches off the ground and adjust to 14
". My
answer is a question: "Do you let your kids climb
stairs?"
If they fell down the stairs, how far would they fall? If
they fell off
their stilts how far would they fall? Answer: only 14
inches!"

Bill,
Chloe is enjoying the stilts. I would say she is learning
balance,
coordination, patience, perseverance. I think she derives enjoyment
from the
fact that there are few kids that can walk on stilts. She can
impress her
friends and teach them something. Unfortunately due to the
weather and the
messy roads, she only walks around the house in them right now, so she
doesn't
use them for very long periods of time. I'm sure that will
change in the
summer. I would definitely recommend them to others!

Chloe is nine years old, and the last I saw here she was
helping her 6
year old brother learn the "ups and downs" of stilt walking!

Thank
you, Bill, the stilts are beautiful and very much beloved by the
children, though my husband sort of blew the cover on Santa when
perhaps the 15th person stopped us near the Brooklyn Bridge to ask,
"where'd you get those wonderful stilts?" and he said, "my wife got
'em on the internet!"
They're really great! And it's great to know that I
can get extra feet
and such if I need 'em. What great customer service.
In fact, maybe I will see if I can pitch a product
review to this
online magazine I write for from time to time!
Here they are on their maiden voyage, Xmas day.
That's the
Williamsburgh Savings Bank tower, a famous Brooklyn landmark, shrouded
in the back.
