I wish it was some brilliant, pre-thought out idea but in all actuality we went for a nature day to a mountain lake and we seen a leaf floating on the water. We decided to make a "bark boat" to see if it would float. We tried out several pieces of bark before we found the "good one". Then we started to work on the leaf sail to help it make it's way across the lake. We widdled a small hole in the bark for the stem to stick into and that held the leaf in place. It was all trial and error but this was the one that blew across the lake! It was fun.
Floating our homemade bark boat. It floated across the lake!
