How to Make a Boat from Cardboard for a Play
- 1). Cut out a speedboat shape from one of the long sides of a cardboard box. This will be the base of your boat.
- 2). Cut long strips of cardboard. Each strip should measure approximately 6 inches. You will need enough total length to go all the way around the perimeter of your boat base.
- 3). Tape the strips around the perimeter of the boat base to create the wall of the boat. Apply tape to the inside and outside of the boat at the point where the wall meets the base. Also tape the seams where the wall sections meet.
- 4). Decorate your boat with paint, markers and stickers. Use your cardboard boat to act out stories from books and from your imagination.
