Plasticine does not have a definite shape. It is a moldable material that can be easily shaped and reshaped into various forms.
A heavy lump of plasticine floats when in the shape of a boat because the boat shape displaces a greater volume of water than the lump alone. This creates a buoyant force that is sufficient to counteract the weight of the plasticine, allowing it to float.
Increase its volume by adding more plasticine. Shape it into a hollow, buoyant structure like a boat or raft. Use a light material, like a small piece of foam, to help it float. Mold the plasticine into a ball shape, which can displace water and float. Create an air pocket within the plasticine to increase its buoyancy.
A liquid has a definite size but no definite shape. In contrast, a solid has definite size and shape, and a gas has no definite size or shape.
To make plasticine float, you can shape it into a boat or raft-like structure with a concave base. By redistributing the weight and displacing enough water, the plasticine will float instead of sink.

Although it does not have a definite shape, it still has a definite volume.
It's both a liquid with very high viscosity and a solid with very low degree of 'hardness'.
Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have not definite shape but have definite volume. Gases have neither definite shape not definite volume.
