Pinch the end of your paper and stick some tape over the end to make a little ‘hat’ for the end of your straw, this will be your rocket. You can now decorate your paper rocket with pipe cleaners pom poms, glitter or any other firework type decorations you like. When you’re done, slide your rocket on to the end of your straw and then blow through the other end to fire your firework!
