Things youll need
Steps
1.
This part of a rocket ship is called the body tube!
The bottom part of the rocket is called the fins!
Youll need two of these shapes.
Then cut them out!
Take both pieces and fold them in half to find the centre.
Carefully bring the two crescent shapes together by inserting one into the other using the cuts you made.
Using scissors, cut four 3 slits into one end of the paper tube, evenly spaced out.
Then carefully slide the crescent shapes into the slits on the paper tube.
Now you have your fins!
The top part of the rocket ship is called the nose cone!
To make the nose cone, trace a circle onto a piece of construction paper and cut it out.
Then, cut away a 14 pie piece off of the circle.
Roll the paper up to make a cone, then tape and glue together.
Add glue to the top of the cardboard tubes rim so you cansecure the cone into place.
Add extra tape underneath to make it extra secure!
Now lets add some flames to our flying rocket!
Cut long triangle shapes from tissue paper.
We used red, yellow and orange tissue paper to best show the flames.
Cut out a strip of construction paper, and glue the triangles to the strip.
double-check you glue the bottom of the triangle to the strip of paper.
Add glue to the bottom of the rocket ship and glue the strip along the outer edge.
For the finishing touches, cut out some circles to make some windows!
We traced a bottle cap and found that to be the perfect size for a rocket ship window.
To make your rocket fly it’s possible for you to add a straw as a handle.
Now your rocket ship is ready for take off!
