Build a Raft This Weekend

Thanks to Mother Earth News, I've found a little weekend activity for your younger ones.  This raftshort instructional guide on how one lad made his own raft with a sail and all should keep them busy for a while, but will also give the opportunity to build a new summer toy and play with Mother Nature.  Some of the instructions seem a little difficult so dad  may want to get out there and help too.  And hey, isn't Father's Day approaching this weekend as well?  It doesn't necessarily mean you'll want to be out there straining over the children, but how hard can building a raft be?  Happy sails!
