Ship
This product is not so difficult to make, so you can entrust the craft to a small child.
Attention! A child cannot build a sailboat on his own; he will need the help of an adult.
Look at pictures of ships with the boy and decide on the model of your sailing vessel. A plastic bottle is used as a basis. In order for the ship to float on the surface, you need to select the appropriate box, which will serve as the foundation for the craft.
In order for the mast to hold, you need to cut a hole for it. The mast itself is made from a skewer or other stick. To ensure it holds tightly, secure it with a glue gun.
The rest of the design - sails, pennants, flags - are made of colored paper. Give your boy the opportunity to fantasize.
