My Book Tie-Ins of the Week:
We loved reading red sled by Lita Judge. There are very few words in this book. The pictures tell the tale of a red sled that is left outside each night by a young child. Each night the sled is borrowed by a bear who likes to go on on evening sled rides.
As the story unfolds, other creatures decide to join the bear in his sled rides until seven animals are sledding under the evening stars.
Finally, one morning the child notices bear footprints outside his house. The child decides to watch out his window to see if the bear returns.
When the bear does the boy joins the bear and his friends on a sled! ” Wheeeeee!” says the boy as he holds on to a moose antlers as the sled slides down the hill.
What did we do?
Craft-Sled Making
I built the red sled using the directions I posted in my How to Make a Cardboard Sled post last year.
JDaniel and I rolled out bubble wrap to create a path for the sled and loaded the sled with some of his lovelies.
After a few trips up and down the bubble wrap, JDaniel decided that we need to add a hill to the path and see what happened.
Poor Teddy fell off the sled and didn’t even make it up the first hill.

It looks like your son had a ton of fun with his homemade sled. Great idea!
What a fun sled day!
I’m milling around the ideas of a future link up w/ you on Read Explore Learn – Pierce has a new favorite book and I just need to develop a craft to go with it.
Thanks for hosting! The Red Sled craft looks so fun and very memorable! Have a lovely Friday!
Amanda would love this! We’ve got the bubble wrap.
We’re off to go make a red sled to go with a simliar The Big Red Sled we’ve been reading! Thanks for the creative ideas and the link up. Amanda just hosted a LOVE BOOKS Activity and Book Swap and there are many bloggers who joined up with their Book and Activities. Hope you check them out.
That is the cutest project! My girls could still totally get into this at their ages. I’m pretty sure their stuffed animals will be on several sleigh rides this weekend. Thanks for the fun idea.
Cute! I think if my kids were still small, they would have liked this. I’m guessing playtime would be over quickly when one of my kids would want to be pulled by the other one, though. 🙂 Without snow this year, this is a fun way to incorporate sledding into a winter day!
hey you! My kids would love this! My 4 yr already pulls everything around on a towel!! HAHA This is great! Thanks!
The homemade sled looks like so much fun!! Great idea!
