Craft your own sail to add to your LEGO® DUPLO® boat – but make sure you make them right size so your passengers don’t fall overboard!

LEGO DUPLO Sailing Mast

1 medium sheet of felt

A pair of scissors (to be used with adult supervision)

Water

A medium sized container (or a bath!)

Place your mast on the felt and cut it to make a triangle of the same height
