The Blue Paper Boat

Anna has a blue piece of paper. It is square. Anna wants to make a boat.

First, Anna takes the paper. She folds it in half. Now it is a rectangle.

Next, she folds the top corners to the middle. It looks like a little hat.

Then, she folds the bottom edges up. One edge goes front. One edge goes back.

Now Anna opens the bottom. She pulls it flat. It becomes a small diamond shape.

After that, she folds the bottom points up to the top. Both sides. It is a smaller triangle now.

Anna opens the bottom again. She pulls the sides apart.

Pop! The paper boat appears.

Anna smiles. She walks to the small park. There is a pond in the park. The water is cool and blue.

Today, the wind is soft. Anna kneels by the edge of the water. She holds her blue paper boat.

She puts the boat on the water. It floats!

The boat moves slowly. A tiny wave pushes it. The blue boat goes far away.

Anna watches her boat. It looks like a bird on the water. The sun shines. Anna is happy.
