Monday Funday:: Cork Boats

 Kid's Craft: Cork Boats

 Mae and I made little sail boats out of a few wine corks, some origami paper I had, a glue gun, tooth picks and a penny. These are so simple to make and were a fun activity for us today... since Mae's little pool was filled up. Mae loved to see her miniature boats floating around in her pool.  We tied a string to them so she could pull them around.  A couple times she tugged a little too hard and they turned over... eventually the sails were all wet and that made them unbalanced, so they didn't stay upright anymore.  We just pulled them out to dry for later.  I would like to replace the sails with something that could get wet though... any ideas? I was thinking of a colorful plastic package, maybe some sort of snack bag? I will keep a look out.

  1. What about foam sheets? They come in a lot of different colors.

  2. Milk jug would make a good sail because it should be light weight and stay dry :) I am totally going to try this soon. Thanks for the great idea.
