Paper Rockets

We made some paper rockets last week......very simple and kept the kids entertained for quite a while.

All you need is paper (we just used regular copy paper), glue, tape and bendy straws (not sure if that's the technical term or not!).

Have each child decorate their paper......some of the kids made a design or pattern and others just colored.

 Once they are done coloring, roll the paper around a pencil and glue the end.

Then take the pencil out and tape one end closed.

Now the fun begins.......put the rocket on a straw and blow and watch them fly!  You can see in each picture where the straw went.  Some of them were realizing if you aimed it up, it shot up to the ceiling.......this was so much fun.  We had rockets flying everywhere!
