How to create an origami boat

Too many kids these days always complain about being bored or having nothing to do.  The majority of them end up either watching too much TV or playing too many video games.  A lot of young kids are obsessed with the current technology era and rarely accomplish anything that does not include something electronic.  Some kids even get into the mindset where they automatically conclude that if it is not electronic, then it is not fun and therefore not worth doing.

I firmly believe that if each child tried to create something with their own bare hands and not rely on only technology for entertainment, the excessive use of TV and computers would decline.  The simple art of making crafts by using common household materials is rarely seen anymore.

I will show you how to make a really cool origami boat that could be used as a toy or just for entertainment purposes using only a piece of paper. 

Step 1 Gather materials

You will need a square piece of paper.  The size does not matter, but the smaller the square, the harder the folding will get towards the end of the project.  I recommend using a standard 8.5" x 11" paper for your first origami boat.

Note:  If you do not have a square piece of paper, then any shaped piece of paper will work.  Step 2 will explain and show how to make a square piece of paper.

Optional tool: Scissors
