Making boats is a fun activity that you can try with different materials. You can fold a piece of paper into a boat shape or use aluminum foil to make a boat that floats. Once you have your boats, you can place them in water, such as a basin or bathtub, and see how well they float. You can also add toys to the boats and see how much weight they can carry before sinking. For an extra challenge, you can add a sail made from paper or cloth to see if it helps the boat move across the water.
Here are some boats I made. Can you spot someone having a sail?
