WHAT BETTER WAY TO SKYROCKET YOUR DREAMS THAN TO BUILD YOUR OWN ROCKET SHIP? Use items from your recycle bin to create this rocket and let your imagination soar!Take an empty water bottle with a lid from your recycle bin and peel o� the label. To make a coloured rocket (optional) you can add some cra� paint to the inside of the bottle, put the lid on tightly and shake until the inside of the bottle is coated with paint.Select two or three more bottle caps of any size and colour and, with an adult’s help, hot glue them to one side of your bottle in a line from top to bottom. These are your windows and portholes.Glue one fat cardboard roll (toilet paper) or two thin cardboard rolls (from inside aluminum foil or plastic wrap) to the other side of the water bottle to be your rocket launchers. Add some strips of red paper or fabric out the bottom of the roll to look like flames.An upside down small yogurt or applesauce container glued to the bottom of your water bottle will be your base. Using safety scissors, cut two triangle wings from cardstock or cra� foam and glue them one on each side of your bottle. Your rocket is ready to fly!
