I made a miniature blocking sled for my 9 month old grandson.  Class of '42.

I've tried 5 different ways to add the pics but can't so I'll add my facebook link and see if that works. Sorry for the bad post.

The pad was made from dense foam that was square and I cut into the "T" shape.  Basically the whole thing is pvc.  I bought 2' precut for the sled long pcs.  Then I bought another 2' length to cut the cross pcs with.  I used a T joint to connect the neck to it.  I then filled the entire bottom with sand. I don't think the weight of the foam would pull the pvc off the ground but I wanted to make sure.  Also didn't wanted it to slide on the grass instead of the foam piece just coming off the ground easy.  I came out of the T joint about 10 inches and used a 1/4 joint to then run another piece vertical that I mounted the form on.  That is pretty vague description but if anyone needs more detail you can message me on here with specific questions and I'll try to help.  

On the pvc that goes up into the foam, I cut a couple of slits in the sides of the pvc and slid a couple of framing "straps" through the slits so the foam wouldn't spin around on the pvc.  Then just spray painted.  It took a little time but it wasn't very hard.  Just figuring out ahead of time how to do it I had to think through for a while.  But it's pretty simple actually.
