    These cute Milky Way Teddy Sleds are perfect for class party treats at school and are easy to make! Make a batch to share at school, or let the kids make their own! This post contains affiliate links, was originally shared in 2011 and now includes a video.

    Inspiration for this project found here from Planning With Kids. Made with a few alterations.

    Watch our step by step video!

    These Milky Way teddy sleds are so fun! I'm sitting here having a hard time believing that the first time we made these my oldest, who is getting ready to graduate high school, was in second grade! We made these for a class Christmas party and they were a huge hit. It was fun to make them with my youngest this year. If you're looking for something even EASIER be sure to check out our snowboarding polar bears. Yes, SNOWBOARDING polar bears, haha!

    Milky Way Teddy Sleds for Class Party Treats

    mini candy canes, candy bars and teddy grahams

    Supplies

    • mini candy canes
    • teddy grahams
    • miniature fun sized milky way candy bars
    • chocolate frosting

    Instructions

    candy bar cut into thirds

    • Step 1: Cut a fun sized candy bar in thirds. Take the center piece out. (This helps the little sled fit onto the candy canes better.)

    candy bar cut in half with teddy graham

    • Step 2: Sandwich a little teddy graham cracker in between the two candy bar pieces with a bit of chocolate frosting.
    • Step 3: Spread a small amount of chocolate frosting on two mini candy canes. We always have a giant tub of these during the holidays and add them to our Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes!

    • Step 3: Place candy bar on top of the candy canes.
    Note: You can use royal icing instead of chocolate frosting if you want them to dry faster or transport them to a party. Because they are made with a cracker, these are best eaten the day that they are made to avoid the cracker softening or going stale.

    Kids would have a great time making teddy sleds at a class party treat station! Have an example made ahead of time and all of the supplies laid out assembly style and let the kids make their own Milky Way teddy sleds. Teddy Grahams come in a variety of flavors so pick out a few to give the kids options!
