We had so much fun making Paper Boats the other weekend. My daughter then continued to make them all week long. She tends to find an idea like this and is so proud that she can make it and wants to show off to friends and family. We got the idea from the book: Curious George Rides a Bike
by H.L. Rey which has the instructions on how to create a paper boat within the story. This activity is great because it ties in reading and art together.
To create a paper boat you'll need:
Origami Paper
Here are the instructions we followed within the book. It begins with the paper hat. Here are instructions for the origami paper boat here at: http://www.origami-fun.com/origami-boat.html
We even did some floating experiments with the origami boats we made too.
