How to Fold an Origami Boat

How to Fold a Simple Origami Boat!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 1. Start with a 6.5″ x 10″ piece of freezer paper. Note: Any paper will work for this but the waxed quality of freezer paper makes it especially seaworthy.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 2. With the shiny side up fold it in half lengthwise (like a hot dog) and then unfold.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 3. Fold each long edge up until it is in line with the center crease.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 4. Take the bottom right corner and fold up to meet the center crease. Repeat with remaining three corners.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 5. Fold the outside corner into the center crease again. Repeat on the other three sides to create sharp points at each end of your rectangle.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 6. Gently turn your project inside out. Have kids try to float their boat in a bathtub or sink, or use as a bowl and fill with a fun snack mix!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠
