Peeps Boat

Make a boat that will keep the Peeps dry!

Items Needed:

  • Small plastic container (or a lightweight base, like a foam tray)
  • Craft sticks or straws
  • Aluminum foil
  • Tape or glue
  • Scissors
  • Peeps marshmallow (to act as the bunny passenger)
  • Small decorative items (optional, like paper flags or stickers)
  • Basin of water (to test the boat)

Instructions:

  1. Design Your Boat: Think about how you’ll make a boat that floats and holds the Peeps bunny safely. Sketch your design if you’d like.
  2. Build the Base: Use a plastic container, craft sticks, or foil to form the base of your boat. Tape or glue materials together as needed.
  3. Add Stability: Attach straws, craft sticks, or other materials to make your boat balanced and stable in water.
  4. Decorate (Optional): Add small decorative items to personalize your boat if you’d like.
  5. Place the Bunny: Carefully place the Peeps bunny on your boat and make sure it stays balanced.
  6. Test It: Float your boat in a basin of water. Observe how well it holds up with the Peeps bunny on board.
  7. Improve the Design: If the boat sinks or tips over, modify your design to make it more stable and test it again!
