Build and Set Sail
Paper boats meet the 21st century. Don’t worry—the special paper that comes with these kits is waterproof, so your boats will stay afloat longer (you can use any paper that will float). The little pull-cord motors send your creation off for 10-second runs. It’s a great DIY project for kids and is the perfect addition to any sandcastle moat! If you are venturing to the Sound of Okaloosa Island, the water is calm enough for the kids to test their ships in open waters. Caution—this kind of excitement tends to bring out the pirate in us all!
