These ice lolly sticks and wine cork rafts are so much fun and simple to make!
Lollypop stick rafts:
What you need:
- Wine corks
- Paper
- Cocktail sticks or wooden skewers
- Ice lolly sticks
- Blue tack or playdough
- PVA glue
What you do:
- Place two lolly sticks slightly apart.
- Cover both sticks in PVA glue
- Place more lolly sticks across these two, press down to make sure they stick. Leave a little gap between the two middle sticks.
- Leave to dry.
- Cut out a sail from scraps of coloured paper.
- Pass a cocktail stick or skewer through the top and bottom of the sail.
- Pass the skewer through the small gap created earlier and stick the pointy end into a single wine cork.
- Secure the wine cork on the underside of the raft using blue tack or playdough.
- Launch your craft in a sink or basin of water and have lots and lots of watery fun!

Hi, I’m Ciara — writer, homemaker, and the heart behind Our Little House in the Country. I share slow, seasonal living from our cozy corner of the Irish countryside, where life is a little messy, a little magical, and deeply real. Whether it’s a teen-friendly recipe, a lived-in home moment, or a reminder to let go of perfection, this space is about embracing the everyday and finding joy in what’s already here. Come in, kick off your shoes, and stay a while — the kettle’s always on.
