While Spring is almost upon us, here in San Francisco, it feels like we are in the thick of Winter. Its been rainy and cold and what better way to entertain a bunch of boys than to do an easy, fun art project.
The plan: collect rain water; make boats; set boats afloat.
The action: I pulled out a mini tub and while it was busy collecting water, the boys were busy building structures with Lego, had light saber fights, snacked and... made boats. We used standard printer paper, colored with crayons to individualize them. The crayons also helped waterproof our boats. We folded the li'l squares and soon enough, it morphed into a boat! And, while it was heavy rain, we certainly needed help from a faucet to fill up our tub.
The boys set their boats afloat, and bet on the boat that would stay afloat the longest. Fun!
Staying locked in at home all weekend long wasn't that bad after all!
