You will need:
2 x 1 litre (1¾ pint) milk cartons
foil
coloured cardboard cylinder
pen
cotton wool
chenille sticks
adhesive tape
scissors
Step 1
Seal the open end of a milk carton with tape. Cut a piece of foil to fit around entire carton. Carefully cover milk carton with foil lengthways, so that the edges are on the underside of the boat. Tape the edges together.
Step 2
Adult: cut off the bottom of the second milk carton about 6cm (2½in) from the base (the ship’s upper deck). Turn the carton upside down, and place the cardboard cylinder (about 8cm [3in] high) in the middle of the base. The cylinder is the ship’s funnel. Draw around the base of the cylinder with a pen. Pierce inside the circle and cut out a hole. Wrap the carton in foil, carefully folding the foil into the hole. Insert the cylinder into the hole. Decorate chimney with cotton wool for smoke.
Step 3
Tape the chimney and top deck to the ship’s body.
Step 4
Adult: pierce the top of the ship’s body with scissors and insert chenille sticks for aerials. Wrap a chenille stick around the bottom of the chimney.
