Craft: Pool Noodle Boat Racing Game

June 23, 2015 By Vanessa 1 Comment

I crafted up a pool noodle boat racing game with products from Office Depot as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #GearLove

Office Depot Pool Noodle Boat Racing

Keeping the kiddos entertained and not glued to electronics during the summer can be a tough task! Let’s not even mention when they utter the dreaded “I’m bored”. We headed to Office Depot to get un-board and they surprisingly have tons of supplies for a fun summer. From home office to craft supplies, they have it all! We picked up all the supplies we needed for a fun pool noodle boat racing game and built our boats. Logan had a blast racing his boat across the water! After the game was over, we let Amelia join in on the fun and it turned into a fun splash “table”. She loved playing with the pool noodle boats and splashing in the water! 

MATERIALS

Pool Noodles
Pencils
Colorful Tape
Foam Board
Scissors
Hot Glue Gun
Large Plastic Bin

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Cut pool noodles into 6 inch sections. Cut those sections in half, as shown below. A pair of sharp scissors will work.

Step 6: Fill a large plastic bin with water. You can add a few drops of blue food coloring to the water if you’d like.

Step 7: Place noodle boats in the water, lined up on one side and have the kids blow at their boat using a straw. The first boat to the other side wins.

I suffer from craft ADHD, regularly working on at least 10 projects at the same time and my craft room looks like a tornado hit it. My first craft book, Party in a Jar, was published in 2014. I look forward to crafting with you!
