Go on adventure! Here you will find a nice DIY idea to craft a raft. Make a mini-raft of popsicle sticks or twigs, which can really float! Make a mast on it and a sail. If you have made a raft with several children, make a raft race!

Lucas, a neighbor from a few doors down, is in eighth grade and has made one of popsicles sticks. And as you can see, he really floats! With wood glue he stuck the sticks together, and he left it dry overnight. The sail is a piece of leather, but you can also use plastic or a fabric. The cork is glued to the raft, insert into it the mast.

Don't forget the string, so you can get your raft back on the side!
