I was asked to elaborate on my tweeter tip# 109 which I posted this morning. Here are step by step instructions on how to make some simple float toys.
You will need: a cork, thumbtacks, construction paper, clear plastic tape, scissors and markers.
- Cut a 1/2 inch deep slit in the side of the cork (an adult should do this)
- Draw a picture of a duck, swan or boat. Make sure to draw a tab at the bottom of the picture wide enough to slip in the slit of the cork.
- Cut out the picture. Cover both sides with tape to make it waterproof. Cut out the tape.
- Put the picture tab in the slit in the cork.
- Add a thumbtack on each side at the bottom of the cork to keep it balanced in the water. You might need to adjust or add more tacks to get it to float upright.
Make several float toys and have a race.
