Monthly Competition: Recycled Rocket Craft
For this month’s competition, we’d like you to build your own rocket, using materials that you can find at home.
Look for empty plastic bottles or fizzy drink cans, paper towel or toilet rolls, bottle caps, buttons, paper plates, packaging boxes, old newspapers or even an old umbrella. All of these can become useful materials when building your spacecraft. Get out-of-this-world creative! The size doesn’t matter – it could be as small as your hand or as big as your dad!
FOUR budding rocket engineers will win this fabulous book by Wide Eyed Editions!
