Total Time Needed: 30 Minutes or less
This mini craft takes only a minute or two to assemble, and it's just right for launching in a kiddie pool or bathtub.
Materials
- Small triangle cut from a plastic bag, tablecloth, or other item
- Thin twig
- Modeling clay
- Clean shell
Instructions
- Trim the plastic triangle to resemble a sail. Cut off the very upper tip (this will prevent the top of the sail from flopping over later), then snip a series of tiny openings along the edge where the mast will go.
- Thread the twig through the openings. Press a small lump of clay (if you use too much, your boat might not float) into the shell hull and plant the mast firmly into its center.
