How to make racing boats with corks

Make cork boats and put them to float on a tray with water. Color the paper candles if you want. Each player holds a stick with a magnet under the tray and moves a boat through the water. So you can do boat races. Place the tray on two stacks of books, making sure it is level. Place the tray in the water until it is approximately 3 cm deep. Float the boats and the buoy in the water.
