One of the questions that came up on my please-ask-me-stuff post was how to make a paper hat/boat. When I made the one in my Travelcraft Journal birthday photos, I couldn’t remember how I had done it as a kid. But I found great instructions on wikiHow.

If you make one, I’d love to see a photo of you and your boat where you live!

    1. Napkins into boats is a cool idea!

      I like the pirate story! Those are the same folds and tears with a different story. I’m thinking maybe I heard a Christiany version, but I still don’t remember the details. I should record my mom telling it.

      Back to the pirate story, the Bermuda Triangle actually has rogue waves and sharp coral beds, so there’s some science in there! I watched/nerded out over a National Gepgraphic special about it that I bet you and the kiddos would like: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/drain-the-bermuda-triangle/

  1. I fold the napkins into boats. Not on a regular day, but, I mean, for parties.

    There is a way to tear the paper boat that turns it into a paper shirt when you unfold it, but I don’t remember how.

  2. Sure, Lori! It’s simple and (theoretically) actually will float!

    Phillip took the pic when we had the one year celebration in the park. In the spirit of microblogging, I didn’t want to take time for more photos. But I didn’t want to post the one from my Twitter avatar *again.*

    1. It sounds like a win-win then! Reading your comment, I suddenly remembered my mom had a story that went along with folding the paper boat. I’ll have to ask her about it, because I can’t remember how it went.
