Posted 2013-10-12 by Jane Street ⇒ follow


These floating boats are very easy to make and provide lots of fun on a summer day. Load them up with toy passengers and have fun sailing them in a pool or bath.

Time: 10 minutes to make
Age: Any age
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Plastic bowls or tubs
  • Drinking straws
  • Coloured contact paper (sticky back plastic book covering)
  • Colourful shapes (optional)
  • Scissors
  • Lump of modelling clay



    • Method
  • Cut a piece of sticky back plastic and peel the backing paper off to give sticky side up.
  • Lay the drinking straw in the middle of the sticky side of the contact paper.
  • Add colourful shapes onto the sticky contact paper if you want to.



    • The glittery shapes looked pretty in the sun


  • Fold over the contact paper, sticky side to sticky side with the straw in the crease.



  • Cut out a triangle shape sail.



  • Stick the straw mast into a small lump of modelling clay and press onto the bottom of the boat tub.

    • Ready to sail


    The boat is now ready to sail. Load up with some small toy passengers and float in a pool or bath. Bon voyage!
