Pro Tips

  • → Have your toddler sit cross-legged in the center of the blanket and hold the edges with both hands.
  • → Sing a rhythmic sledding tune while pulling them around the kitchen island or open hallway.
  • → Stop abruptly every few seconds so they anticipate the next "Ready, set, GO!"

Safety First

Keep pulls slow and controlled; stay clear of wall corners or open stairways.
