Few folds are as nostalgic as the paper boat. One square of paper, a handful of creases, and suddenly you've got a little vessel ready to set sail across the bathroom floor or the kitchen table.

This version is pure photo-by-photo folding — thirteen tidy steps, no jargon — so it's a brilliant first make for kids (or for the kid in you). Grab a sheet, follow along, and by the end you'll have a fleet's worth of boats before you know it.
