For this activity:

1. You will need: 1 kitchen roll tube, 1 toilet roll tube, scissors, paint and glue.
2. Flatten the toilet roll tube. Measure 3cm from each end and mark. Connect the marks with a diagonal line and cut into two pieces.
3. Next flatten the kitchen roll tube. Measure 5cm from the end and draw a line. Cut off the 5cm end piece.
4. Take the 5cm cut piece and fold ends into a point. Tape along the seam and cut the ends to make them even. This will be the top of the rocket.
5. Paint the pieces of the rocket and assemble with glue.
