How Do You Make Elephant Feet Stilts?
When you were a child, did you ever make a pair of elephant feet stilts? They were one of my favorite toys and they are extremely easy to make! It’s a perfect project for you and your child, and they are tons of fun! The first thing that you need to do is to acquire your supplies. You will need 2 large coffee cans (the size of the cans needed should be based on the size of your feet), sturdy rope, and a can opener. Start by poking 2 holes, straight across from each other, about 2 inches from the bottom of each can. Turn the cans upside down (open end facing the ground). String the rope through each hole and tie the two ends of the rope together (the rope handles should reach to approximately 6-10 inches below your hips). The rope is used as handles, that when standing on top of the cans, pulling the rope tight will keep the cans against your feet as you walk. Now your elephant feet stilts are done!
