Now your rocket ship is ready for take off! Three, two, one…. Carefully pierce a hole into your cardboard tube with a pencil and glue a straw into place using hot glue. To make your rocket fly you can add a straw as a handle. You can also use decorative tape, strips of paper, buttons or stickers… anything you like to decorate your rocket ship and make it your own! 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. Add glue to the bottom of the rocket ship and glue the strip along the outer edge.ĥ. Make sure you glue the bottom of the triangle to the strip of paper. You can cut all the triangles you need at the same time by stacking the tissue paper together.Ĭut out a strip of construction paper, and glue the triangles to the strip. We used red, yellow and orange tissue paper to best show the flames. Now let’s add some flames to our flying rocket! Cut long triangle shapes from tissue paper.

Add extra tape underneath to make it extra secure!Ĥ. Roll the paper up to make a cone, then tape and glue together.Īdd glue to the top of the cardboard tube’s rim so you cansecure the cone into place. Then, cut away a 1⁄4 pie piece off of the circle. 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 carefully slide the crescent shapes into the slits on the paper tube. Using scissors, cut four 3” slits into one end of the paper tube, evenly spaced out. Unfold, and cut a line halfway up the folded centre line on one crescent, and make a cut half way down on the other.Ĭarefully bring the two crescent shapes together by inserting one into the other using the cuts you made. Take both pieces and fold them in half to find the centre. Then move the bowl down the page, and trace half of a circle again to make a crescent shape. The bottom part of the rocket is called the fins! To make the fins, trace half of the bowl to make a half circle on a piece on construction paper. This part of a rocket ship is called the body tube!Ģ. Paint your cardboard tube the color you would like for your flying rocket ship and then set it aside to dry.
