The kids might greatly enjoy having this self-propelled boat in the bath.  They will learn how the angled blades push the boat (or pull it backward if the rubber band is twisted the wrong way.)

It employs a twisted 12-16" rubber band to provide the energy to turn the propeller.  I found the rubber band on Amazon.

I reduced the propeller's diameter a little so that it did not break the surface when spinning.  When it broke the surface, a net side force made the boat yaw.

The nose fitting can be angled 0-5 degrees (port or starboard (right)) to make the boat turn.

If you want to use a smaller rubber band, you could scale the hull along the keel axis and it should work out OK.

We have only showers in our retirement home. No tubs - Just two community pools.
