Sail away with us into some more water day fun with this summer craft! This craft is a breeze to create and only requires a few items in preparation.
Here are the items you will need to set sail: Sponges, Straws, Foam Craft Sheets and Scissors
Let’s go ahead and take care of all of our cutting duties first. Starting with the sponge, cut a slit on one end about an inch from the edge. Next, grab a piece of your foam sheets and cut out a triangle. Then you will want to cut two slits into the triangle, going horizontally, about the width of your straw. The slits should be parallel to one another.
Now you are ready to assemble all the pieces. Start by taking one end of your straw and threading it through the two slits in the foam triangle. It should go in on the first slit and back out on the second. This creates your sail.
Take your sail and stick the free end of the straw into the slit in your sponge. Now we are ready to set sail!
You will want to have a small kiddie pool or some sort of large bucket for the kids to try out their boats on. You could even hold a boat race to see which boat goes the fastest from one side to the next!
