A Sled for City Kids

Happy New Year readers!
Sledding season is now upon us! For those of us lucky enough to live in the city, we get to enjoy the pleasures of sledding at our local parks and small side streets (supervised, of course) - but where to store those clunky, ginormous sleds the rest of the year?? One designer has a solution: the "Rocko Flake" sled. It's a slim and bendable 100% recycled plastic mat ingeniously designed with a handle and comfy enough to accomodate a range of "seats". We definitely plan to purchase a few of these for our house, and at $12/apiece, they are affordable and fun. Available at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum store.
