Planes, Trains, Automobiles (and Boats): Float Your Boat
Here's another super-easy idea for our transportation theme!
Supplies:
Foil
Water
1) Give your child a piece of foil (or two or three). Have them construct a boat from the foil.
2) Test out the boats to see if they float!
The girls added the blocks as "people"!
Extension Activity: Place coins on the boat and see how many it takes to sink it. Experiment with different designs to see if one can hold more coins than another.

Awesome! The sun is out in Seattle (momentarily) so I am headed out to fill the pool -- we'll make these this afternoon!
Ha,ha, Kristin -- I only wish the sun wasn't out here! It's 110 today!!
Great ideas! We're going to try these boats this afternoon!
We did a transportation theme and used this idea. See blog here: http://skeesblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/transportation-theme.html
