  Materials Needed:

  • A rectangular piece of paper (like an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet)

  Instructions:

  1. Fold the Paper in Half:

     • Start with the paper facing you. Fold it in half lengthwise, then open it back up so you can see the crease.

  2. Create the Triangles:

     • Take the top two corners and fold them down toward the center crease, forming a triangle.

  3. Fold the Bottom:

     • You’ll have a rectangle at the bottom. Fold the bottom edge up on both sides, about 1 inch (or to the bottom of the triangle).

  4. Fold the Triangle Down:

     • Now, take the triangle that you just formed at the top and fold it down over the two folded edges you just made.

  5. Create the Boat Shape:

     • Flip the paper over. You should see a triangle on top with a rectangle beneath it. Fold the bottom corners of the triangle towards the center to create a point.

  6. Open Up the Boat:

     • Gently pull the two sides apart while pushing the bottom up. This will form the boat shape.

  7. Adjust and Enjoy:

     • Make any necessary adjustments to ensure it stands well. You can also decorate your boat if you’d like!

  Now you have your own paper boat! You can try floating it in water or decorate it further. Enjoy!

  Making a paper boat is a fun and simple craft! Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  Materials Needed:

  • A rectangular piece of paper (like an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet)

  Instructions:

  1. Fold the Paper in Half:

     • Start with the paper oriented horizontally. Fold it in half lengthwise, then unfold it to create a crease down the center.

  2. Fold the Top Corners:

     • Take the top two corners and fold them down to meet the center crease, forming a triangle at the top.

  3. Fold the Bottom Edges:

     • Fold the bottom edge of the paper (the rectangle below the triangle) up towards the base of the triangle, creating a flap on each side. You should have a triangle on top with two flaps at the bottom.

  4. Fold the Bottom Flaps:

     • Take the bottom flaps (the parts you just folded up) and fold them outwards, one to the left and one to the right.

  5. Create the Boat Shape:

     • Now, hold the triangle from the bottom and gently pull the two sides apart to form the base of the boat. Flatten the bottom to help it stand.

  6. Adjust and Decorate:

     • Adjust the shape as needed, and you can decorate your boat with markers or stickers if you like!

  Enjoy Your Boat!

  You can test it out on water or just display it. Making multiple boats can lead to fun races too!
