Our craft kit lets children create wind-powered sailboats—for a fun-filled introduction to early STEAM concepts! Ideal for integrating STEM with arts & crafts, the kit includes enough materials for kids to engineer 10 real-working boats. Children just use the precut pieces to build a boat…customize it with their own craft materials…and put it into action! Then kids test and fine-tune their creation—until they have a boat that sails! You get 10 foam hulls, 60 sails, 40 dowels, 30 foam blocks and a guide. The boat hulls measure 6" in length. Additional craft materials not included.

Perfect kits for experimenting with different boat designs. We had fun decorating the boats and then testing their seaworthiness in a metal tub.

Great problem solving activity.

Students had a great time making these. They used trial and error to create balance for their boats. They also experimented with wind to get them going. Very fun and engaging.

Fun project loaded with learning

We enjoyed building these boats very much. Great talks about which design might work best. Should include paint and stickers to decorate as that was a big aspect for both the 6 year old as well as the 8 year old.

Both six year old and three loved this

My grandchildren created beautiful boats to sail in both stream and street gutter water. They were able to adjust the parts of the boat to fit each body of water. There were hours of construction and trial and error here. A great gift in the time of hunkering down.

These were okay, but I felt lacking in creativity and the kids (ages 6-9) seemed a bit bored with them.
