Cardboard boat

Now we’ve made a lot of little paper boats, it’s time for a somewhat more ambitious plan. What if we could make a life-sized paper boat, of scrap paper and cardboard? We can’t help imagining how great it would be to set sail for new adventures in a boat you can make yourself with simple materials. However it does sound a bit silly, doesn’t it, a boat made out of paper able to carry real persons. But fortunately, we’re not the only ones who came up with such a ridiculous plan. In fact there are lots of people who build paper boats. Here’s a link to a website devoted to the history of making paper boats, and here’s a link on how to make a small cardboard kayak.
So, strengthened in the belief that it is not a silly plan after all, we’ve gathered some cardboard to make a first big paper boat.
