August: Design Your Own Surfboards
I used this program as a take-home craft for teens and it was really well-received! I originally found this project on Pinterest and thought it would have a lot of teen appeal. It also makes a great take-home summer craft. The original video tutorial calls for air-dry clay, but you can also use different mediums like styrofoam or bakeable clay.
