How to go cardboard sledding

This is a fun activity with little to no mess that can entertain the kids for hours.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Box
• Bar of soap
• Snowy or icy hill

1. You can break the box down or leave it whole it works either way. The whole box works better if you have someone to push you and the broken down box you do better when you can get a running start.
2. Take the bar of soap and run the corner up and down left to right coating the bottom of the box with a waxy layer of soap.
3. Climb in the box and get a push from a friend down the hill. You can also back up with a flat piece of cardboard and get a running start. If you hold it by one of the flaps you are able to pull up with your knees into the flap and control your new cardboard ride.
4. Easy clean up! Throw the cardboard away when you are done. If the box slows after a few runs then cover the bottom in soap again.

Tips & Warnings

• Most stores will give you cardboard boxes for free if you ask on the right day. Ask them what day they stock the store.
• Ivory soap has the best slide in it
• If you don't mind a little ice then spray the snowy hill with the hose the day before. You will have your own sled resort by morning.
• Warning: Addictive to old and young alike. We did this at my New Years adults only party and it was a big hit.
