A Bottled Boat

I am in awe of people who have the patience to make model boats in glass bottles. The skill, time and patience needed for such an undertaking is something beyond my ability. Can you imagine my horror when Christopher announced that he wanted to make a ship in a bottle? 

It turns out he had seen an episode of Mister Maker with a boat in a bottle project. It was simply a case of using food dye to colour some dry rice to make the water. The boat was made from plasticine and slipped into the bottle. The sails were cardboard triangles stuck onto sticks and then attached to the boat inside the bottle (the tricky part of the process)

Here is our finished project
