Free First Fridays

Supplies:

• Sponge (can use the plain sponge or ones with a scrubbing side)
• Wood Skewers (or craft stick, or straw)
• construction paper (or regular paper)
• scissors
• tape

Directions:

1. Take a pair of scissors and cut the corners off one end of the sponge to create a point.
2. For the mast, take a skewer, cut a 5-inch piece, and poke it through the middle of the sponge (make sure it’s in the middle so the sponge will not tip over). If you are using a craft stick or straw, cut a small slit in the sponge first, then insert the stick/straw.
3. To make a sail, cut a piece of paper in either a triangle, square or rectangle.
4. Push the skewer into the sail at the top and bottom. If you are using a craft stick or straw, cut a slit into the paper at the top and bottom and push the stick/straw through the slits. You can wrap a piece a tape around skewer (the part that’s right under the sail) to keep the sail from slipping down.
5. Fill up your tub or sink and sail your boat!
