My son is three and he LOVES to walk on stilts like daddy.  Great fun, and safer than a skateboard, and earns him positive attention at the playground.  He also likes to walk around the house in them, and reach things he normally can't reach.  We walk around the block.  Sometimes he wants to hold hands, but I tell him, "Only baby stilt-walkers hold hands when they walk."
