Sinead,

making boats is a lot of fun, but the science can be a little bit tricky. I find it best to start with rafts – where they have to float on the top of the water, and in later classes look at boats that displace water and hence float.

For those type of boats you can make a simple currach out of plain printer paper and it will last long enough to be tested a few times.
