This summer we traveled to the East Coast of Canada. While on one of many gorgeous beaches my son found a stone in the shape of an arrowhead. “Mum! Can we make a spear!?!?” Yes, son. Yes we can. We kept the stones in the van, and there they stayed for over a month. Then we remembered they were there. How exciting. It’s time to CRAFT!!
Method One
Supplies:
- String, twine or shoelace
- Knife or saw (we started with a knife and switched to a saw)
- Arrowhead shaped stone
- Stick, about half an inch in diameter.
Instructions:
- Cut the end of the stick so it’s flat.
- Cut the stick lengthwise, about two and a half inches from the top
- Insert Stone into gap, about halfway down the cut
- Wrap the string tightly around the stick directly below the stone. Tie a knot or two.
Method Two
Supplies:
- Two flat sticks. We used spacers taken from the wood we ordered for our fence.
- String, twine or shoelace
- Arrowhead shaped stone
Instructions:
- Place the end of the stone in between the sticks.
- Wrap rope around both ends of the stick, so hold the sticks together and to hold the stone in place.
Now it’s time to go hunt some imaginary buffalo!
