by making a boat and that way a boat can float anytime in water
Put it on a boat?
I can make a iron nail float. Simply melt some lead and the iron will float on top of the lead. Your question seems to be with regard to how do Boats float and the answer is Bouyancy. The Boat displaces a volume of water and if the weight of the displaced water is less than the weight of the boat, the boat will float.
make it into shape of a boat
In order for clay to float in water, you must spread it out as much as you can and form it into a boat shape, or you could spread it out, and take it and form it into a ball, but leave a big pocket of air in the middle, and it should float either way if done right.
Any material that will float, such as wood or plastic.
Add flotation material to it, like sprayed polyurethane foam.
Yes it does because depending on the materials of the boat and how much their mass is can change the buoyancy of the toy boat. Boat can be designed to have less volume in order for it to have less density and be able to float. So if the material's mass is alot if can make the boat sink. If the material's mass is not alot then it can help the boat float. If the shape is designed to have more volume than mass it will float. If not then it will sink.
Add flotation material to it, like sprayed polyurethane foam.
Fibre glass is a good material to make boats it is a mixture of glass and plastic.

anything you want that can float. You can be creative.

The key to make a boat float is that the boat should weigh less (or have less mass) than the water it displaces.
