Boating

Here is a quick and easy craft for the wee ones.  With so much rain and so many puddles I thought we should make some boats to play with.  So we made some super easy tug boats.

Materials: margarine container
                 string
                 scissors
                 construction paper
                 play dough
                 stick

I started by punching a hole at the top of the margarine container and put a string through it.  Then we made the sails out of construction paper and decorated them.  Glue the sails to the stick (we used an old paintbrush)  and then put it is a glob of play dough.  Put the sail in the margarine container and your boat is done. 

We tested them in the tub first.  We also put a little boat on the back for our big one too pull around. 

The sails didn't last too long before getting wet but the kids had a blast playing with them.

Happy Boating!
