Making Rockets
In honor of my friend Valerie’s post yesterday on paper airplanes, I simply could not pass up posting this link today for Weblink Wednesday. This is a link for making paper rockets!! WooHoo!
Kids love rockets, and here is an easy craft activity that almost any age child can do. These are great for “just fun” times, or as a junior craft when older children are busy with real rockets. Just print, color, and follow the directions!
For more fun you can experiment with the variables. Try using different weights of paper, or different size bodies. Move the fins into different positions and see how it flies, or make your own fins that are cut at different angles.
So follow the link and enjoy making your own paper rockets!

When you mentioned that your post would be in celebration of my son, I was afraid you found a link on Sewer Fishing or something… I like the rocket link. I might just have to spark that interest for my boys next adventure…

Thanks Kristine,
My children are all making rockets right now. I’m sure it will turn to rocket wars soon around here. Oh well, at least they are feeling better.
