I saw
this idea and remembered something similar to it from when I was young. I thought the boys would think it was fun and I just happened to have made a huge batch of cherry tarts (and forgot to take ANY pictures. I think I will make them again just to give you all the recipe because they were divine...and you HAVE to have a picture right?) and had used a slew of canned sour cherries so I had just enough tin cans! Can I say how much I love giving a piece of garbage a new life :) Don't you think being made into stilts for the boys is so much more
fulfilling to these tin cans than holding cherries?
I just cleaned them out, delabled them, drilled two holes in the bottom of them (hurray I got to use the drill again!) tied a piece of string with two knots INSIDE the can...done. The only tricky thing to this is that the string is the right length.
Something like this would be the right length :) I measured the boys before I tied them. Then I decorated them a bit.
They were a bit tricky to get the hang of...
But they figured it out and had a good time figuring out how work them.
Palmer wanted to walk around the block on his stilts...Our block is a 1/3 of a mile...didn't happen.
It was so cute seeing the boys clanging around on these little stilts.
