Materials:
- Template (cut out)
- Crayons, paint, markers or pencil crayons
- Scissors
- Glue
Methods:
1. Fold the paper (or the 1/2 sheet of newspaper) in half.
2. Fold down each side to make triangles.
3. At the bottom fold the top strip upward on the red line.
4. Fold the two small triangles on the left and on the right backwards to make them disappear.
5. Turn the paper over and fold the other lower strip upwards. You have formed the well known paper hat. (if you're finding the origami too challenging with a group of kids, you can always just stop here and wear your hats as sailor hats!!) .
6. Turn the hat 90 degrees and open it so you're looking inside the part you would wear on your head. The thumbs must be inside.
7. Lay the upper and the lower parts on each other so it looks like a diamond.
8. Fold the lower front triangle upwards on the red line.
9. Turn the paper over and fold the other triangle up. It basically looks like the hat without the brim this time.
10. Open the hat again and put the upper part on the lower one to make a diamond shape again.
11. Pull the upper corners of the triangles in direction of the arrows. As you pull these corners you'll see the boat forming before your eyes.
12. Stretch the boat both to the right and left, and then separate it slightly from underneath so it can float.
