Popsicle Stick Boat Instructions

A popsicle stick boat combines two childhood favorites: popsicles and water toys. A popsicle sailboat is easy enough for a child to put together and is perfect for the bathtub or pond. A group craft session could conclude with a boat race in a plastic swimming pool, along with some frozen popsicle treats.

Things You'll Need

15 popsicle sticks
Mylar plastic sheet
Scissors
Epoxy glue
Paper

Instructions

- 1
  Cut a square of the plastic Mylar to the length of a popsicle stick.
- 2
  Mix the epoxy glue and use an extra popsicle stick to apply glue to one long flat side of each stick. Attach the sticks to the Mylar to create a flat base.
- 3
  Glue one stick (by its long narrow edge) to the bottom of the base, in order to create a rudder.
- 4
  Glue one stick to the base top, standing straight up from the bottom edge, for the sailboat's mast.
- 5
  Cut a triangle-shaped piece of paper to fit the mast. Glue one edge of the sail to the mast.
