- Rubber Band Rocket Launcher … we’ll be adding these spring-loaded rockets from Family Fun to our Rocket Day!
- Need 2 plastic cups, 2 rubber bands and tape.
- Make four evenly spaced, half-inch snips in the rim of one cup.
- Cut two rubber bands, knot them, and place them in the slits so that they are taut.
- Tape inside each slit to keep them from splitting.
- Draw a rocket, cut it out and tape it to the cup.
- To launch, press the rocket cup down over the other cup.
- Quickly let go and watch the cup blast off!
