These plastic stilts are made of strong plastic and have a broadened edge for extra stability at the base, as this creates a wider surface area at the bottom of the stilts.
They measure 12cm high by 10.5cm in diameter and are approximately 12cm in height. They are are supplied in assorted colours including red, yellow and blue.
Stilts are designed to allow a person to stand at a taller height above the ground. The child gets the feeling of being taller as they are high off the ground, and has to engage their gross motor skills as they walk on the raised platforms and also coordinate the timing between lifting their leg with the stilt below it while keeping pressure on the handle with ropes at the same time so the stilts don’t separate from the foot. Stilts have been a staple component of outdoor play and gross motor activities for many years and are always popular with children. it is recommended that footwear is worn when wearing the stilts.
These feet are supplied as a pair of stilts that come with two durable bases combined with a pair of ropes for the children to hold onto when they lift the plastic stilts to take each step. The recommended age rating for these stilts is for children 3 and over.
