Tiny Ships

ages 3-6

Supplies

Walnut shell or acorn top, toothpick, paper, clay

Activity Detail

Using acorn tops or walnut shells, children can create boats that actually float! Take the clean, halved shell and place a small amount of clay in the bottom. Stick a toothpick in the clay. Cut a small square-shaped sail out of paper, put this sail on the toothpick by poking it through the toothpick. Put it in the water and watch it float.
