Fourth of July Rockets
Get ready for the Fourth of July with these fun Independence Day rocket decorations using some basic supplies and recyclables.
Materials
Directions
Decorate your tubes any way your child wishes using glitter and paint.
To create the rocket cap, cut a circle from a sheet of paper roughly 5'' across.
Cut a slit halfway through to the center of the circle. Roll into a cone shape and secure it with glue.
Use the glue to attach the cap to the rocket and add a straw "fuse" and tissue paper "flames" to the other end.
Slip the straws over the skewers again for the final drying.
