Making a Homemade Kicksled Material List:
- Repurposed Wood
Anything will do, in my case, broken oak furniture worked. Check your local thrift store as well, they might have some broken furniture that needs hauling away.
- Used Cross-Country Skis
Again, check your local thrift store. Also, during the Winter it’s usually quite easy to find them at affordable prices, second hand.
- Screws and a Little Imagination
I had a bucket of random screws and nails in the shop that I used for this project.
- My go-to Cordless Drill
This baby works well for all kinds of projects around the homestead.
Have you ever made a Homemade Kicksled?
Don’t break this one.

This is awesome! DO you have closeups of how you attached the chair to the ski? Also the floorboards?
Great job, I want to make one for my twins!

The original is still over by the wood pile. I am enjoying reading up on how you guys are doing once you moved from Blanchard…We love the place here and slowly but surly getting projects done… Blessing to you all…

That’s great! We sure loved that place, I’m glad you are all enjoying it 🙂 Blessing to you…Abby
I was born and raised in Norway and we used to stack several “Sparks” together and make a train. Then we would race down this steep curvy narrow road. It was so much fun! How do you attach the ski’s and footboard because you can’t have screws from under the skis? I would like to build something similar for my grandkids. This article brought back a lot of fun memories. Thank you!
Awww, thank you! My hubby screwed through the top of the skis and the wood so there would be no screws on the bottom part.
