Simple Sailboat Craft
You can make these cute little toy boats in just a few minutes.
They are great for preschoolers and kindergartners to practice
cutting with scissors, drawing, and molding clay.
Supplies:
- A wide plastic lid (like the lid
from a margarine tub)
- A drinking straw
- Construction paper
- Kids' scissors
- A hole punch
- Crayons, markers, and/or stickers
- A small wad of play dough
|
 |
Cut a triangle from a piece of
construction paper - this will be your sail.
Decorate the sail with crayons,
markers, and/or stickers. |
 |
Punch three holes along one side of
the triangle. |
 |
Weave a drinking straw (the boat's
mast) through the holes. |
 |
Put a small wad of molding clay on
the inside of the lid. Push the end of the drinking straw into
the clay.
You now have a cute little toy
sailboat that can float in water! |
