Here’s another super-easy idea for our transportation theme!
Foil Boat
Supplies:
- Foil
- Water
1) Give your child a piece of foil (or two or three). Have them construct a boat from the foil.
2) Test out the boats to see if they float!
The girls added the blocks as “people”!
Extension Activity: Place coins on the boat and see how many it takes to sink it. Experiment with different designs to see if one can hold more coins than another.
