Paper Tube Rockets

Summer is in full swing.

We are working our way through our Summer Bucket List.   I'm already hearing mumblings of  "I'm bored." and "There's nothing to do." and my all time favorite "It's to hot to go outside.".

This should keep them entertained for a few minutes.  

We covered toilet paper tubes with craft paper, added a cone, some ribbon, and sparkles. 

See how both the cones are crushed in, flight practice.

We cut strips of scrap book paper for the tubes.  I added dabs of hot glue while they rolled it onto the tube.

To make a cone.  Cut a large circle, make a cut to the center of the circle, twist around until you reach the desired cone shape, a dot of hot glue will hold it in place. I ran a bead of hot glue around the top of the tube, they added the cone.

A few strips of ribbon and sparkles and you have yourself a rocket.

Look at that face.  That is the:  We are no longer doing what I want to do face/stop taking photos face.

For more flying fun we printed off cool paper airplane templates, folded, and threw them all over the house.

I will be sharing our rockets with these radical blogs.
