Method
1. Apply glue evenly across a chosen piece of colored paper, ensuring it becomes the main color of the rocket, as this step marks the beginning of building a rocket ship!
2. Line the toilet paper tube with one end of the paper, pressing down and rolling together until the tube is fully covered by the paper.
3. Trim any excess that’s hanging over the edges of the rocketship to ensure a safe and smooth construction process.
4. If the glue isn’t sticking securely, you can use two clothes pegs to hold the ends of the rocketship tube together while the glue dries.
5. While you wait for the glue to dry, cut out fun shapes from different colored paper. You need windows, flames, exhaust pipes, and a big half-circle for the rocket’s roof. To make the half-circle, draw a big circle using a protractor or a round object, fold it in half, and cut along the fold.
6. Attach your windows and flames securely to the tube.
7. Make a cone with your semi-circle by pulling the two corners together and adjusting the size. Make sure it’s the right size for your tube.
8. Attach and glue the cone to the upper part of the tube to create your awesome rocket ship.
