Easy Toilet Paper Roll Rocket Craft

 This is a simple and cute rocket you can make from a toilet roll.

Materials:

  • toilet paper roll
  • aluminum foil
  • small black circle from construction paper
  • short strips of red, yellow, orange cellophane
  • stapler
  • glue

Directions:

  1. Cut a small sheet of aluminum foil about 9x9.5 inches, big enough to wrap the toilet roll.
  2. Spread glue over the toilet paper roll and wrap with the foil. Fold the excess into the ends.
  3. Cut a slit in the black circle and roll into a cone. Staple in place.
  4. Apply glue on the inside of one end of the toilet paper roll and insert the cone. If it doesn't fit exactly, secure with tape.
  5. Glue the cellophane strips into the other end for flames.
  6. For more detail, cut a small white circle, draw an astronauts face and glue to the side of the rocket.
  7. Attach a piece of yarn or fishing line to hand up your rocket
