GeospaceGeospace Walkaroo I-Can! Balance Walking Bucket Stilts with Adjustable Nylon Lines for Small Kids Ages 3 to 8 - Indoor or Outdoor Safe Active Play & Increased Coordination (1 Green Pair)

Could you build it out of old cans? Yes you could, if you had the time, and if you can get the edges to be as safe as this. For me this was way more practical, and no dangerous can edges. My kids love it! I will have to look into getting other products from this company.

This was a gift for my one and only grandson (Age 5). He began using it right away with little instruction. His mom says he still uses it.

They are built strong, as I tried them out too. But they are very slippery on hard wood floors so the carpet is the only place he can use it on, which isn't a big area in our house. So if you don't have a lot of carpet I would pass on this.

Perfect for my dancing exercise dramatic play center in my preschool classroom. And my two and five year olds use them for a few weeks before I brought them into the classroom because they had a blast with them

Just smooth plastic on the bottom, so if your kid is trying to walk on tile/wood/vinyl they will most likely slip and fall.

Grandsons love these!

My 3 year old granddaughter loves these. After a couple tried she was able to walk in them quite easily!

Kids loved these and got right up on them and started using them
