Need:
Paper
Directions:
Here are 2 ideas for water to be
used under Columbus' ships (the ships can be cut-outs or original
drawings). Have the child trace his/her hand several times...use some
green paper and some blue. When gluing them under the ships,
alternate blue and green with finger tips slightly overlapping the
edge of the hand in front of it. Have children make thin,
short-linked paper chains...mixing blue and green.
You will need to help glue them under the ships.

Need:
Soda Bottle, Cardboard, and Crayons
Directions: For
"boat-in-a-bottle" save clear pop bottles (like RC cola
ones) and make a cutout along the side of
the bottle. Have children draw one of the ships
or, again use a cut-out, with a TAB on the bottom. Glue this to a
piece of cardboard colored
blue. Glue the bottle over the ship and there it is!!
