Paper Rocket Making

This fun and easy craft project is perfect for rainy afternoons or just a creative session at home. Create your own paper rocket and get ready for lift off!

What you'll need:

• 2 A5 sized cardboard sheets for the rockets

• 1 A4 sized cardboard sheet for the top and wings

• Red, orange and yellow paper

• Glue

• Tape

• Stapler

• Pens

How to:

Decorate your A5 sized cardboard sheets. We used gel pens for a metallic look and some silver paper scraps to make windows.

Roll your decorated cardboard sheets into tubes and staple together.

Next cut out a half circle and 4 wing shapes per rocket. Use our template to help you with the right size if you like.

Roll each half circles into a cone and staple together. Check that the cone fits your rocket tube before stapling.

Tape the cones onto the rocket tubes from the inside.

Next fold the edges of wings upright.

Glue two mirrored wing shapes together. Then glue the the edges you folded to one side of your rocket. Repeat for the other side of the rocket.

Cut your yellow, orange and red paper into flames.

Glue the flames to the bottom of your rocket. Leave everything to dry and you're ready for your space adventure!
