Floating Canoe

This canoe really floats and is a great bath time toy, especially as it is made from two shower gel bottles
Looks the part, fits a Playmobile TM action figure, only wish it fitted me, I hear canoes are quite expensive, this one wasn't, how cool can you get in 30 minutes.
. . .
This is the sort of model that you cvan make in a few minutes when the kids are bored and want something to do. In essence it is very very simple, because it is only two shower gel bottles glued together, neck to neck. A couple of little bits of detail finish it off, like the splash guard and the seat, but really this is a 10 to 20 minute project. Next time you buy shower gel, or shampoo or conditioner, have a look at all the bottle shapes on offer. All you need for this project is a bottle that stands on its cap, which is vaguely symmetrical and has a rounded end. It's not rocket science... it's junk model making canoe science of course!
TIP:
To get the graphics right, find a typeface you like, print the words you want big on a sheet of A4 paper and copy them onto the model with permanent marker
The instructions are so easy to follow. The download comes in both US Letter size and A4, all you have to do is just click on the size you need, to download it.

Lovely little MicroBooks
 |
|

Sitting in the car on those long journeys back wards and forwards from mum’s to dad’s, going on that special weekend or second holiday with their dad, often kids of separated parents do a lot of traveling and have a lot to keep in their heads. So what better than a little pocket sized notebook to write and sketch down all those important thoughts. These fun little origami MicroBooks are a really simple project that anyone can tackle. They’re easy to fold up and really nice to fill in and keep. They’re perfect for kids because they don’t have loads and loads of pages that will never get written in, and they're small enough to fit in a pocket or a small bag. They've got to be the simplest form of origami on the web.
My kids showed me how to make a micro-book in about five minutes, it's so quick and easy.

The instructions and the lovely graphic printables are free to download.
So even if you only have a few minutes to spare, this is a perfect project to do.
There’s a couple of holiday diaries, perfect for keeping happy memories of a lovely time with dad. There are books for doodling, and writing, and even ones packed with interesting facts, enough to keep anyone busy.
There’s a special new MicroBook full of all the best wizard’s spells, charms, hexes and curses, just perfect for all those budding wizard Harry Potter fans. Click here to be magically transported to the spells MicroBook page.
