Making a Viking longboat - Primary school year 6 History project

Took 4 weekends and several afternoons/evenings to accomplish this project. Needed constant guidance, supervision and help - especially with the "ropes". I designed and drew the templates but he was able to draw and cut the parts of the boat - even the thicker cardboards.
We used a cheap, brand new pillowcase for the sail, made stripes with masking tape and painted with normal poster-paint using a sponge. Used the hot glue to fold the edges of the sail. We folded twice, and the second time glued a thin wire in (like a frame) to keep the shape of the sail (looks like it`s blown by the wind).
We used skewer sticks for the oars and wooden dowel Ø 9mm for the mast and Ø 6mm for the yard.
Used thin string and thread for the ropes and secured the shields with paper fasteners. The rest is cardboard box.
Quick list of materials:
- cardboard boxes (two different thickness)
- wooden dowel (Ø 6mm and Ø 9mm)
- skewer sticks
- thin string and thread
- poster paint
- paper fasteners
- pillowcase
- thin wire
- hot glue-gun
- masking tape
- and several obvious tools (such as rulers, scissors, trimming knife etc.)
After a lot of research, the basic idea was coming from these two youtube videos:
