Patriotic Raft Craft
Have some fun at your Canada Day or Independence Day
picnic sailing our patriotic rafts. Why not make a few and, using
drinking straws to blow the sails, have races! And of course these can
be adapted for Australia Day, St Patrick's Day, St George's Day and any
other patriotic event ...
You will need:
16 popsicle sticks (lolly sticks)
Glue
Playdough
colouring pens
Flag printout
Place 11 popsicle sticks side by side. Glue the remaining
4 sticks across at right angles to stick them together. This is the base
of your raft.
While the base is drying make your sail. Print out a flag
from our colouring flag collection
and colour. Bend the sail in half and cut two small slits in the middle
of the flag - one at the top and one at the bottom. Carefully push the
last popsicle flag through the slits. This is your mast.
Use a piece of playdough to
stick your mast to the center of your raft. And you are ready to go!
