It is everyone’s favorite past time to collect sea shells on vacation. At the end of a week at the beach you end up with tons of shells. Here is a craft that will use up some of these great sea shells and keep your children entertained for an hour. Here what you’ll need for this craft:
- Small triangle cut from a plastic bag, tablecloth, or other item
- Thin twig
- Modeling clay
- Shell
Directions
Trim the plastic triangle in the shape of a sail. Cut off the very upper tip (this will prevent the top of the sail from flopping over later), then snip a series of tiny openings along the edge where the mast will go.
Thread the twig through the openings. Press a small lump of clay (if you use too much, your boat might not float) into the shell hull and plant the mast firmly into its center.
Boat Races
With parental supervision, help your child fill up the baby pool or tub and let them have boat races with their new sea shell boats.
