Paddle Boat Block Toy

To make an easy fun paddle boat toy you'll need:

1 scrap block of wood

2 long nails

elastic band/string

1 small thin chunk of wood

I pre-drilled my holes into one end of my block of wood to prevent splitting. Put your nails in far enough apart for the paddle to fit between with some room for the elastic to twist up. Tie your elastic around the nails and insert the small paddle wood and twist. To prevent the wood from soaking up water, paint the wood with a non water based paint. This boat goes slow but it goes. My kids had a great time playing with it in the tub.
