w.a.l.t.
making boats out of natural resources and what ever we have lying around the house.
The first time i saw the boat is by the fence at the next door neighbours i reached under the fence and pulled it through. Mum said it was a palm tree leaf all dried up, it was perfect for a boat.
First i sealed up the holes with black tape, then i started to put the seats in,at first it was cardboard seats,then i took them out and started to work on the rudder which can turn the boat to different angles.
Then i started to work on the sails, because they are so important, i glued heaps of Popsicle sticks in a row to make the mast then glued it to the inside of the boat, after that was dry i started to cut out the paper for the sail and glued that on. I also made a solar panel out of card board.
NEXT STEP - making the propela.
I will make this out of a popsical stick and a rubber band, but this will take a while.
I cant wait to take it to the lake and put it in the water to see if it floats i really hope it does.
