Rocketship

A must for any space lovers

Material

1 empty formula tin
1 roll foil
1 roll masking tape
4 sheets coloured paper - red, yellow, green and blue

Method

Cover formula tin in foil and stick with masking tape.
Cut red and yellow paper into strips. Fold to form zig zags and tape to bottom of tin to form flames.
Cut 3 triangles from the green paper to form wings, tape to foil body.
Make a cone with the blue paper and tape to the top of the formula tin. (I had some difficulty hence the extra tape)

Notes

You could probably use any kind of tape if you wanted to try and hide it as masking tape is very obvious.

I like this. We don’t use formula so will have to find an alternative.

This is very cool – I don’t have any formula tins but am sure I can improvise with something else. I have a rocket fan at home so he will have heaps of fun making this!

Imaginations can create such simple things, great way to use a tin that would otherwise be thrown out.
