Ships Ahoy!

One of the science experiments the boys and I did was to make a boat out of a styrofoam plate, with a knitting needle mast and construction paper sail. At first, we were to see how far the styrofoam boat went withOUT a sail. It didn't go that far, of course... Then, we added the sail- what great fun! The boys spent 15 or so minutes blowing the boat across the tub. They loved it, and even had to find a Lego man to ride along. Arr!
