paper boat

Child's water vessel

A paper boat is a small toy boat folded from a single sheet of paper, typically made by children.

The craft floats briefly before becoming waterlogged: We set our paper boats sailing in the gutter after the rain.

Paper boat can also refer to disposable food containers shaped like shallow boats, used for serving fries or other items at fairs and concession stands.
