Total Time Needed: 1 Hour
Hold a regatta on your tabletop with these simple walnut ships whose colorful leaf sails come courtesy of the fall season.
Materials
- Walnut shell
- Leaf
- Twig
- Clay
Instructions
- For each, you'll need an intact half of a walnut shell (see our tip below).
- Thread a leaf onto a twig for a mast and a sail. Secure the mast to the inside of the shell with a small ball of clay.
Tips:
To open a walnut without breaking the shell (an adult's job), hold it steady on a cutting board, insert the tip of a flathead screwdriver or a butter knife into the flat end of the seam, and carefully pry the halves apart.
