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!
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!
