Have the kids ever seen stiltwlakers? We think they are a very art deco carnival thing but did you know
Archaeological evidence suggests that the first instances of stilt walking can be found in ancient Egypt and China around 3,500 years ago. In these cultures, stilts were primarily used for practical purposes, such as navigating marshy terrains or working in flooded fields.
