By allowing children to construct basic boats out of popsicle sticks, this project blends construction with water play. To make their boats float in the water, they adhere sticks to create a flat base and then add a paper sail. What you require: Popsicle sticks for the bottom of the boat To join the sticks, use glue. To make the sail, paper To hold the sail, use toothpicks or string. Create a flat boat base by adhering the popsicle sticks together. Cut a little piece of paper into the shape of a sail, fasten it to a string mast or toothpick, and then secure it erect on the boat. Children can float their boats in the kiddie pool or bathtub. Because it combines creativity with outdoor enjoyment, children love this craft because it lets them make something they can play with in the water.
