The kids will love to make these delightful little craft stick sled ornaments for the tree or decorations for packages. This is a good craft project to make for fund raising efforts too.
Trivia:
Sledding came to America in the 1860s when a man named Henry Morton invented the wooden toboggan. Since then, sleds have evolved into many different shapes and styles. There are six different categories of sleds: foam sleds, runner sleds, toboggans, disks, tube/inflatable sleds and backcountry sleds.
