She sets sail to rescue the heart of goddess Te Fitti from legendary demigod, Maui. Against all odds Maui and Moana voyage together across the ocean to reunite the mystical relic with its true owner.

Shop Tonies

Stuff you’ll need:

• 11 Twigs – eight that are roughly the same size and straight and three that are slightly longer
• Twine
• Paper
• Scissors

Method

Step one

• Going for a walk is the perfect excuse for finding all of the twigs that you will need. We found ours over a few walks.

Step two

• Line up your eight twigs to create the body of the raft.

Step three

• Using a length of string, wind it around and between one end of the twigs. When you get to the last twig, tie a knot to fix it in place. If you know anything about knots, then the clove hitch is perfect for this activity.

Step four

• Repeat this for the other side.

Step five

• Next, lie the two longer sticks across the raft, they should lie the other way to twigs that make up the deck.

Step six

Carefully attach the twigs to the deck, a diagonal lashing is perfect, it makes a cross pattern.

Step seven

• On a piece of paper make a sail for your twig.

Step eight

• Slot the final twig in the middle of the raft and attach your flag by poking the twig through it.

Take your raft on a voyage

To test your twig raft, let it set sail in the South Pacific after bath time in the leftover water or take it out to your local pond.
