Little Wishboats
Little boats made from bark, driftwood, leaves, and other natural finds. Decorate your boat, add a little mast if you like, and send it off with a wish. This is a simple outdoor craft with plenty of room for children to make their own choices. They can look for a good boat shape, decide how to decorate it, and choose what they would like to use for a little sail.
