A'hoy!
These little boats are so cute they are sure to be plundered by all local pirates!
I made these with drift wood found on the beach in Ulsteinvik, Norway and assembled with tree branches and twine. You don't have to be in Europe to replicate this easy project though, it's easily done with any scrap/drift wood from your local area. I recommend letting drift wood air dry for about 2 days before using it. The boats are complete kid magnets, (an adult's inner-kid included), they all want to pick them up and pretend. It was a fun project to do with my daughter, Sofie. She got such a kick out of making the sail! We had all kinds of silly conversations and I had her guess which ones would sail and float the best.
The boats ended up sailing in the windowsills in our summer home. The end result is a quirky, amateurish, and whimsical conversation piece!
What summer projects did you do with your children?
