A small play ship is a great and it is very realistic if you imagine it. Why not make one and impress your friends after you make your ship. You can be making a Spanish sail ship. Problem is it has a lot of steps but is is very easy if you have the materials. Draw the shape of a boat as if you were looking at it from above onto a piece of Cardboardbox card. Cut the shape out after drawing it in a cardboard. Use this as a template to draw around onto some more cardboard box card again for the body. Cut this shape out too you should now have two. Cut off the pointed end of one of these cardboard pieces and the other end too.

Then after cutting the Cardboardparts of the ship. You can glue them together as if glue the pointy bit you cut off onto that. After that, you'll need three cocktail sticks to make the ship's masts. Carefully snip off the top third of the cocktail sticks, so that they're all about the same length and punch one of the cocktail sticks into the middle of the cardboard boat. Do the same again, with one behind the raised part at the front, and one in front of the raised part at the back. By then you have already made a cardboard boat.
