Paper Rocket

This rocket really takes off!

What You’ll Need

plastic drinking straw
plain paper
scissors
tape
glue
markers

Instructions

1. Wrap the straw with plain paper so that the straw can slip in and out of the paper tube easily. Tape the paper tube securely.

2. Pinch the end of the paper tube to form a pointed nose for the rocket. Tape in place.

3. Cut two rocket fins from paper. Glue to the non-pointed end of the paper tube.

4. Decorate the rocket with markers.

5. To launch, slip the straw into the paper tube. Blow into the straw for lift off!

In addition to decorating the rocket with markers, you can also add glitter and streamers. Be careful not to add anything that makes the rocket too heavy to go very far, you still want the rocket to fly!
