Father's Day

Step 1Before you begin making this boat you will need to turn an A4 piece of paper into a square. To do so, fold the paper horizontally so the short end lines up with the long side.
Step 2Trim the excess A4 paper. You now have a square!
Step 3Fold the paper horizontally again in the other direction.
Step 4Open up that fold so you have a larger triangle shape again.
Step 5Fold the paper down from the tip of the triangle as shown.
Step 6Open up your last fold. You should have two crease lines in your large triangle shape.
Step 7Open up your piece of paper completely.
Step 8Flip the paper over and fold up the bottom lip of the paper towards the centre.
Step 9Continue folding the whole piece of paper in half with the bottom lip of the paper folding out in a different direction.
Step 10Fold the paper completely flat. You should now start to see a boat shape forming.
Step 11Sit your boat up and check that it looks like the one we picture.
Step 12Use paper and markers to decorate your boat and add more colour.
