April 11th 2015 - Making Rockets
You need:
Rocket template http://www.clipartbest.com/rocket-ship-cartoon
1 thin drinking straw
1 thick drinking straw
double sided tape
crayons/pens optional
printer
scissors
Me and lil man have today made rockets from paper and drinking straws like these on pinterest. We followed the link which took you to a page of free rocket templates (see above), we had to draw 2 of them (the same rocket) off the laptop screen as have no ink to print them. Lil man then coloured them in.
Once they were coloured in I cut them out and placed double sided tape on the back of the rockets (both) and place the smaller straw on top of the tape but left 3/4 of the straw sticking out the bottom. This thin straw then goes into the thicker straw and using the small bendy bit you blow into it and the rocket flies. I have a happy son that is making his rocket fly, complete with countdown.
