Another Pinterest idea! And a super easy one too!

The girls & I used a piece of paper that was 3" x 5 3/4".
But you can experiment with your own sizes too.
Zoey got quite ambitious, ready to double-launch her rockets!
I found it helpful to wrap the paper around the pencil BEFORE drawing on it, & then mark it with a different pencil, to get an idea of what actual space would be seen.
I used a red marker to scribble in the surface area that would be seen once your rocket is finished. (I used a red marker because the pencil markings were too light in the photo.) This step is not necessary of course. The girls & I had fun sketching all over the whole piece of paper. But if you have a specific design that you want to be centered & seen, then do this step first. Just a little tip.
We had races to see who could launch theirs the farthest.
I also made a smaller one, but it didn't fly as far as the larger (heavier) rockets.

This is a great idea! My grandsons come every summer to spend a few weeks with their father and I get to have them a couple of times during their visit. I've been collecting all sorts of kid's activities for this year since I'm unable to afford the local children's museum anymore...they're really proud of their museum, I suppose, since they decided to make the cost prohibitive to the vast majority in this city!!
