how to make a paper boat essay
Answers
Lay out a rectangular piece of paper. If you are using patterned or printed paper, begin with the decorated side facing up so it will show on the outside of the boat
Fold the sheet of paper in half from top to bottom to create a horizontal crease in the middle – the non-patterned side of your paper should now be visible
Fold the top corners in towards the middle so that they meet. Leave 1-2 inches of space at the bottom. You should now have a triangle shape
Fold the flaps at the bottom of the triangle shape up on both sides
Pop out the middle to make a hat shape
Using your fingers, open the hat shape out even more until it forms a square. Tuck the corners of one flap under the other
Fold up the bottom flaps of the square on both sides so you are left with a triangle shape
Pull out the middle of the triangle to form a square
Pull out the middle of the square
Press the shape flat
Open out from the bottom to assemble your boat shape
Ta-da! You now have a paper boat which your kids can decorate however they like!
