Here’s what author Carmella Van Vleet has to say about this activity:

“Reed boats were made out of the reeds of a papyrus plant. Because the reeds were bundled together, the ends of the boat curved up. Most ancient Egyptians used reed boats. Wooden boats were expensive. This is because there weren’t many trees in the desert, and the trees that were there didn’t make good planks. Wood had to come from other countries. Here’s a way to make a model of a reed boat that really floats. You will be using spray paint for this project, so you’ll need a grownup around.”
