Sam and I as of late invested some energy making and playing with paper water Boat, Ship.

There are lots of instructions for doing this on the net, but we felt a bit challenged, so when we finally got it right, we made our own

First we covered one side of the paper.

Then folded it in half, pattern side inwards

With the ‘open’ edge at the bottom, fold the corners down to meet in the middle. We found it helped to ‘quarter’ the sheet lightly first, so we knew where to fold to.

Fold one bottom ‘lip’ upwards, and fold the little corners that overhand the triangles over the back.

As before, open it up from the bottom and flatten it in the opposite direction. The two upper corners will be loose, almost like a pistachio shell. Grasp them and pull gently apart. The boat will open up in front of you 🙂
