u can shape the clay into looking like a boat then let it sit for a day or 2 then put water in a bowl a put marbels in it
concrete type clay boat
with proper engineering, anything is possible.
"made a clay boat" is the predicate.
To make a ball of clay float, you can shape the clay into a hollow sphere or add buoyant materials inside. By creating a structure that displaces enough water to counteract the weight of the clay, it can float on the surface of water. You can also try reducing the density of the clay by incorporating air bubbles or using a lightweight clay mixture.
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.

You could built a boat of clay. Provided the clay has been fired and will not dissolve in water. Provided that once placed in water, it is able to displace its gross weight and still have ample freeboard to prevent water coming inboard. Whether the clay walls of the vessel is strong enough to withstand the considerable forces of the oceans is another matter!
The property that causes a boat clay to float is its shape and design, which displaces enough water to create buoyancy. In contrast, a clay ball sinks because it doesn't displace enough water to offset its weight.
