Use modeling clay to shape the boat. Make the shape similar to a canoe. At the front of the ship use extra modeling clay to form a dragon head. Cut out small circles of cardboard to represent shields.  Attach the shields to the side of the ship. Place ice cream sticks between each shield for oars. Additional ice cream sticks can be used as a mast in the center of the ship. Cut a rectangular sail from paper. Punch two holes near the top and bottom of the sail. Weave the sail on the mast.
