Float Your Boat




Gather a tub or container filled with water and items around your house to make a boat, such as Tupperware lids, straws, Play-Doh®, etc. You can make this as simple or elaborate as you would like. If you want to make a sail, you will also need construction paper, scissors, and crayons.


If you choose to make a sail, cut a triangle out of your piece 
of construction paper and decorate it. You will need to put two holes on either side, 
either with scissors or a hole punch if you have one.



Then thread the straw through the holes of your sail.


Now make your boat with the items you found around your house. I used a lid, a straw with a sail, and Play-Doh®. Easy peasy!


Place the boat in the tub of water, letting it float.


Talk about how Jesus calmed the storm when he was on the boat with the Disciples.
