Make a popsicle stick paddle boat that’s powered with a rubber band. This video from DaveHax demonstrates how cutting and gluing together some lollipop or popsicle sticks can make a simple paddle boat structure. Sand them with sanding paper if you want it to have an extra-fine finish.
Add an elastic rubber band and keep twisting and twisting its attached paddle to see the boat take off in the water.
