Here's a fun kid craft for the summer months ahead, mini surfboards. These surfboards can float on water making them perfect for the bath or pool. Plus, they are made out of items you probably already have at home. Here's the how-to.
Supplies:
Styrofoam meat or vegetable tray packaging - make sure to wash well if it was used for meat
Scrapbook Rub-on Transfers
Scissors
Pencil
Draw surfboard shapes on back of styrofoam. Drawing on the back will disguise any mistakes.
Cut surfboards out with standard scissors. I was able to get three surfboards from one tray.
Position transfers on your surfboard and rub on. If you don't have rub-ons transfers, try using crayons. I don't recommend using marker since it can bleed into the water.
We made our surfboards 5 inches long by one and a half inches wide. You can make them any size you want, there's no wrong or right way.
We tested out the surfboards in the water and they were able to hold two Lego minifigures on one board. The rub-ons stay on well too. I wasn't sure if they would be waterproof but so far so good.
