Don’t have a sled? Surely you have a laundry basket!

I went out for a walk this morning through Fort Greene Park and saw everyone enjoying the snow – building snowmen, playing on the playground, and of course, sledding.  I came upon a mom using a laundry basket as a sled for her little one (quite successfully I might add!)  The basket was gliding through the snow briskly, and she had a rope tied around her waist to move it along.  I am always impressed by mom genius!  So, you might not have a sled, but I know for sure you have a laundry basket!  Get out there and enjoy it!

So Smart!

So Smart!

Never to snowy to play!

Never to snowy to play!

Ready, Set, SLED!

It’s supposed to start snowing soon (although when it comes to winter weather I never count my chickens before they hatch) and A Child Grows in Brooklyn did a post about the best sledding hills in the neighborhood (Fort Greene Park is of course on the list!) and how to make your own sled.  I am hoping to get Cameron out to the park this afternoon, or more likely, tomorrow for his first sledding experience.  So bundle up your little one and I’ll see you there!
