I once had students create an authentic “box lunch” from the time using shoe boxes which had to be decorated on the outside with a scene from the novel.  The lunch contents had to be as authentic to the period as possible:  no wax paper, plastic, processed foods, soda, etc.  They had to do a little research about what choices they could have.

 How about making rafts out of popsicle sticks, or pre-cut dowels, and some type of waterproof glue.  If the students have time you could lash the rafts together with string. Many Boy Scout or outdoors sites will have how-tos on the lashing.  With a little preparation anyone can learn the basics--at least enough to build small demo rafts.
 
An added activity would to fill something with water and see how the rafts float.

"This is the age of the open-source encyclopedia.  Words like 'research' and 'corroborated' now mean whatever the majority says they mean.  Personally, I'm voting for 'research' to mean 'speculation' and 'corroborated' to mean 'a zesty sour cream-based dip.'"
