Instructions

  • Pick out a toilet paper roll to use as the base of your rocket. For a bigger version, a kitchen paper roll works great too.
  • Gently flatten the roll a bit to make it easier to draw on.
  • Grab the printable template and trace the rocket outline onto the roll with a pencil.
  • Cut along the pencil lines to shape your rocket using scissors.
  • Using the same template, cut out the flame shapes and round windows for your rocket.
  • Glue the flame pieces together—orange behind yellow. Outline your windows with a blue marker or pen for extra detail.
  • Paint the rocket’s nose and fins using your favorite paint—watercolor, poster paint, or acrylic all work well.
  • Stick the windows onto the center of the rocket, spacing them out evenly for a clean look.
  • Finish it off by attaching the flame piece to the bottom of your rocket—blast off complete!
