Doing and thinking for young children
will contribute to lowered self esteem and undermine their self-confidence. You

We’ve written on this blog before about plastic bottle aeroplanes, but today we’re going to share how we made rockets from plastic bottles too.
You’ll need:
plastic bottlecardpaperpaintglitterPrint out the rocket fins. I fitted 12 of these on a A4 page. Then you cut out a harder piece of card for strength and put the fins on either side.
Cut two slits on either side of the plastic bottle to slide the fins in. For variation you can make four fins instead of two. Use a circle for a point on top. Cut a slit in it and fold it into a cone and stick it on the lid of the bottle.

As a proud Mother of two adult daughters, I am reflecting back on what I hopefully instilled in my daughters. As parents, we are here to guide and love our children through life.
“No matter how far we come, our parents are always in us.”
