| Homemade straw rockets are easy to make and great for fighting the winter blues! They would also be great for a party! I helped my daughter give them to her older sister as a homemade Christmas gift. We made a few for her to use right away and then gave her all the supplies in a box to make her own whenever she wanted! |
 |
| All you need is a pencil, a strip of paper any size (I used a 2"by 11"), two squares any size (I used a 2"squares), straw, scissors, and tape. |
 |
| On the back of the squares draw a diagonal line and then cut on the line to make four triangles. |
 |
| Fold one edge of the triangle about an 1/4" to make the fins for the rocket. |
 |
| Take the strip of paper and wrap it down the length of the pencil. Tape up the whole length of the paper and pull out the pencil. You should have a tube. Tape one end of the tube down at an angle forming the nose for the rocket. |
 |
| Tape the fins onto the rocket and put the rocket on the straw. |
 |
| Blow into the straw and see the rocket fly! |
