Plastic Stilts - 1 Pair

These sturdy plastic stilts are designed to provide hours of active fun while helping children develop crucial physical skills. Made from strong, durable plastic, each stilt features a broadened edge at the base for exceptional stability, creating a wider surface area that helps prevent wobbling. They are supplied as a pair and come in assorted colours, including red, yellow and blue, adding a vibrant touch to playtime. Each stilt includes a durable base combined with a rope handle for children to hold onto, ensuring they stay securely attached during use.

Why this product is helpful:

• Enhances Gross Motor Skills: Walking on stilts actively engages leg muscles, core strength and overall body coordination as children learn to balance and move on the elevated platforms.
• Improves Balance & Coordination: Children must constantly adjust their balance and coordinate the timing between lifting their leg and the stilt, while simultaneously maintaining pressure on the handle ropes. This complex movement significantly boosts their equilibrium and motor planning.
• Boosts Confidence & Spatial Awareness: Mastering the challenge of walking on stilts can build a child's self-confidence. The elevated perspective also subtly enhances their spatial awareness as they navigate their surroundings from a new height.
• Encourages Outdoor Play: As a classic outdoor play item, these stilts provide an engaging alternative to screen time, promoting physical activity and fresh air.

Things to consider when purchasing the Plastic Stilts:

• Recommended Age: These stilts are recommended for children aged 3 years and over. Always ensure children are within the appropriate age range for safe use.
• Footwear is Recommended: For optimal safety and comfort, it's highly recommended that footwear be worn when using the stilts. This helps to provide better grip and protects the child's feet.
• Supervised Play: While designed for stability, adult supervision is always advised, especially when children are first learning to use the stilts, to ensure a safe play environment.
• Learning Curve: Children may need some practice to master walking on stilts. Encourage them patiently, as the benefits to their physical development are significant.
• Surface Suitability: Ideal for use on flat, even surfaces like grass or paved areas to minimise the risk of falls. Avoid uneven terrain or slippery surfaces.
