I found these adorable little knit winter hats and thought they would be perfect for the sledding kids! You have a choice of assorted colors (rainbow), solid white, all green or all red. I don’t have many of the white ones, so if that is your choice, be quick! A simple scarf can be added by cutting a narrow strip of felt and “fringing” the ends. Make them long enough to tie around the neck or cut a slit in the scarf to pass one end through and make a loop that can go around the neck. I didn’t have time to make these before getting the hatted pegs online, so you are on your own for the scarves. I only have enough hats for 13 sled sets and may not be able to get more before Christmas! Definitely a limited-edition listing!!
The sled is our regular sled with 3 #5 Peg Dolls. These sleds are made from unfinished pine, so, although Ron flat sands the sled, you may have to do a little more sanding in the “tight” areas. The pegs are unfinished hardwood, commercially made. They are usually pretty smooth, but may need a little touch up here and there. The #5 Large boy/Man Peg Doll is 2-5/8 inches tall with a 7/8 inch diameter base.
The sled is made (by us) out of pine. It measures approximately 8 inches long by 2-1/4 inches tall and 1-1/2 inches wide with three 1 inch holes drilled to hold the peg dolls. The drill holes may need a little extra sanding attention as the soft pine tends to "feather" a bit when drilled. Other peg dolls (commercially made) with diameters of less than 1 inch will also love a ride in this sled. The #2 Small Angel and the #3 Girl with Skirt will fit nicely. The smaller pegs dolls will also work, of course, but will rattle around in the larger opening. The hats will not fit other peg dolls as well as they fit the #5 Peg!
Please be aware that some peg dolls can be a choking hazard for small children and pets. We do not recommend these items for children under three years of age or for those children who insist on putting everything in their mouths. Supervised play is best when peg dolls are involved! You know your child best, so please buy responsibly! The little knit hats are also a choking hazard so you might want to glue them on the peg dolls after painting the dolls.
This set includes one sled and 3 of the #5 Large Boy Peg Dolls with Knit Hats. It will ship First Class Parcel (USPS Ground Advantage) in the USA with delivery in 2 to 5 business days from mailing. Wood is heavy. Shipping fees may be more than the price of the item!

PLEASE READ: IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION!!
*******************************************************
SHIPPING USA: First Class Parcel (USPS Ground Advantage) pricing is by the ounce (up to 15.999 ounces commercial base) and by your ZIP-CODE. First Class Parcel (USPS Ground Advantage), Regular Ground Advantage, and Priority Mail rates change depending on weight, size, and distance. Our pricing is based on rates to the West Coast since a majority of our sales are in that rate bracket. If you live closer to Michigan, please ask for adjusted shipping rates BEFORE you send a purchase order and we will set up a Reserved Listing for you. Just “message” or e-mail us with your ZIP CODE and a DETAILED list of the items you wish to purchase. We will set up the Reserved Listing for you with the revised shipping and you can order as usual. (Keep in mind that I cannot see what is in your shopping cart!)
The new USPS Ground Advantage for packages over 1 pound can be cheaper than Priority. If we have the boxes and if shipping is substantially cheaper, we will ship that way, but it will take longer. Please let us know if you would rather have Priority Mail with faster shipping!
Of course, you can always just order and pay, and we will refund any shipping overpayment if it is above $2.00! Our shipping refunds go through Etsy Payments and are done at the same time as we print up your shipping label.
MULTIPLE ITEMS: I’m afraid I got tired of trying to guess at shipping for multiple items when we have such a variety of items and weights. It just doesn't work for us. We do offer combined shipping; we just can't show it on the listing! Please e-mail or message me for shipping on multiple items BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT and we will be glad to give you a price on shipping to your door! Shipping is usually much less for one combined shipping price than for the shipping prices on each item added together! Although sometimes it is cheaper to ship in two First Class Parcels than in one Priority package when shipping to the West Coast! Just another shipping nightmare to deal with. See above paragraphs for more info.
USA SHIPPING TIMES: First Class Parcel and USPS Ground Advantage delivers in 2 to 5 business days. Priority Mail delivers in 2 to 3 business days. All have tracking included. All now offer free Insurance on items totaling $100.00 or less. We do not ship Express Mail! Insurance on First Class Parcel, USPS Ground Advantage or Priority with items totaling over $100.00 is additional.
