Then, all we had to do was roll/twist the felt just right, hot glue the edges together and ta-da! A cone!Īnd as a happy accident, the cone totally looked like a Christmas tree! So we decorated using some of the fabulous sequins and other findings from the kit. I then drew a line from the edge of the circle to the center and had her cut along that line. We took one of the felt ornaments and cut the top off. All we really needed to do was find a large circle. This was a tricky problem for her to solve, so I showed her a trick. Next we needed to fashion our rocket’s top cone. Felt can be sort of tricky to work with using regular glue and I’m all for minimizing those types of frustrations and obstacles.
We glued the wings in place with a low temp glue gun. We looked through the kit and found the felt tree, which had symmetric triangles on both sides… if we cut them just right, we’d have two wings! The next part we wanted to figure out was the wings. I carefully slid the window into the cardboard tube and over the cut hole and held it there for a few seconds until it was stuck. Then I put glue on the top of the sequin along the edge. I then cut out the Santa for her, put a few drops of glue on her drawing and stuck it to the window. My daughter wanted to have Santa inside the window, so I had her draw a small Santa (I traced the sequin first on her drawing paper so she knew how big to make her portrait). My daughter then got right to work decorating the tube with holiday colored markers. So, I traced the shape of the sequin onto the cardboard tube, and then I carefully cut out a window in the tube for her (making sure where I cut was smaller than the tracing to ensure the window could be glued to the inside of the tube later). We opened the sequin bag, and we found some large blue-tinted clear oval sequins – this would be PERFECT for our window! And of course it has to be holiday-themed!Īs I mentioned above, we used a cardboard tube as the body of the rocket.Rocket’s body (we’ll use the cardboard tube for this).So, to continue to focus her efforts, as she looked through the materials, I had her start thinking about some of the components of a rocket.

That’s where creativity and a solution-focused mindset comes into play! I’ll share some of our ideas that we came up with, but feel free to come up with your own ideas! There are so many neat possibilities with this activity. Inside the kit you’ll find all kinds of goodies, though you might have a hard time finding “rocket” supplies.
