Sailboat Craft Step by Step Directions

Begin with a sheet of blue cardstock.

Cut cardstock in fourths.

Cut the cardstock in fourths.

Have an adult cut potato in half. Cut one half again and the other half in fourths.

Now, adult step! Cut a large potato in half. Then cut one of the halves in half lengthwise. And cut the other half in fourths. This will give you stamps for 2 boat bodies and 4 sails.

Dip one of the larger potato pieces in paint.

Pour the colors of paint on a flat surface. We like to use paper plates. Make sure there is plenty of space between the colors or they will mix. Dip the cut end of the boat body stamp in one of the colors.

Stamp onto cardstock.

And press onto the blue cardstock.

Dip one of the smaller potato pieces in another paint color and press above the boat.
