Can an object made of cardboard float?

Usually - yes. Objects made of cardboard can float - at least until they become saturated with water. Even a sheet of cardboard will float initially. If the cardboard is coated with something that prevents the cardboard underneath from soaking up water, the object can continue to float for quite a while. Once it becomes saturated with water, cardboard will have more difficulty floating. Since it is made from paper - which derives from wood pulp - even when wet, it will tend to float rather than sink because wood is usually a bit less dense than water. Since it may not be JUST paper, it may depend on what else was added as to whether it will still float when soggy. It all depends on the average density. Note that as it becomes soggy, cardboard may tend to disintegrate - at which point it would just be a mass of mush rather than recognizable as cardboard.
