Set sail for adventure with this craft. Visit the ATV garage and learn how to make a boat from tin foil.

Orange poster board
Tin foil tray
Air dry clay
Scissors
Wood skewer
Marker
Ruler
Pencil
Glue

REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

  1. Mold your air dry clay into a small, even ball.
  2. Take your wooden skewer (your mast) and insert the flat end into the top of your clay ball. Press your ball into a pyramid shape around the skewer so that it will sit flatly in the bottom of your boat while holding the skewer in place. Set it aside to dry.
  3. To make a sail, take your orange poster board and fold it in half to make two small rectangles. Cut the poster in two along the fold and use a ruler to draw two lines from the bottom corners of the rectangle to the top center to make a triangle shape. Cut out this shape.
  4. Decorate your sail however you want using markers.
  5. Take your skewer and poke it through your sail about ½ and inch from the bottom in the center. Slide the sail down the skewer and then poke it back through the sail at the top point.
  6. With the sail and mast now in place, glue your clay base into the center of your tin foil tray. Let it dry for 1 to 2 hours. Then you’ll be ready to set sail!
