Sailboats Have children save their milk cartons from lunch. It would be fun to let the children wash them out on the playground or in a water table. Cut off the top section as shown. Let children decorate a sail from construction paper and write a name for their boat on the sail. Staple the sail to a straw cut in half. Staple the other end of the straw to the boat. Fill a small tub with water and let the children race their boats by blowing on their sails. |
