You will need:
- one jar lid
(ie. baby food) for each child
- a small ball
of plasticine for each child
- one round
toothpick for each child

triangle of paper for each child

needle
What to do:
- using the
darning needle, pre-poke two holes in the sail - one at a point of
the triangle, the other between the other two points ADULT
ONLY PLEASE
- encourage
children to press their blob of plasticine into the middle of their
lid
- next, carefully
thread the triangle paper sail onto the toothpick
- poke the end
of the toothpick nearest the base of the triangle into the blob of
plasticine
- move ‘sail’
up or down on toothpick to make it billow out
- gently blow
on the sail!
- label work
- clean up
- place ‘boat’
in a tub of water (ie. old baby bathtub works great!)
