Afloat

Continuing on the aquatic theme established last month…ok, sure, I'm trying to swim…sometimes, though, it can be nice to stay dry for a little while! This craft, constructed by our 2-yr-old (with a little help from Dad) has all the elements of appropriate 2-yr-old play: rope (requisite for ANY boat), power tools (the drill to put holes in the coconut and popsicle sticks), fire (candle wax for sealant), burning plastic (rope unravel prevention), heavy metal objects applied at the end of a lever arm (hammer to crack open the coconut). And of course, water!
