Many Native American tribes made finely-crafted birch bark canoes. You can make a small model using construction paper and yarn.

• Brown construction paper or brown paper from a grocery bag
• Crayons, tempera paint, or markers
• Scissors
• Yarn
• A hole punch

Do this on both sides of the original fold. The paper should now look a bit like a capital "W." The folds will be the bottom of the canoe.

Push the folded floor flat so that the canoe sits upright.
