Pretend Rocket Craft Supplies:

* Large or Small Paper Plate {one per rocket craft}
* Favorite Colored Tissue Paper
* Colored Cardstock or Construction Paper
* School Glue
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Hand-Held Office Stapler

1-2-3 BLAST OFF Directions:

* First cut your paper plate into a football/rocket shape.
* Now take your tissue paper and cut it into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Take your paper plate piece and put a good amount of glue all over it. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until it’s completely covered.
* When they are done with that, set aside to let them dry completely while you trim out the other rocket features from your cardstock {a  triangle top, flower petal wings, a circle window and of course, some orange flames}
* To finish off the Paper Plate Rocket kid craft – simply staple the finished cardstock pieces in their designated spots.
* Have children add other embellishments to really make it their own!
* Then display proudly!
