Paper Towel Tube Rocket

Sorting through our endless stream of photos (a good thing, I swear!), I came across some photos that never made it into a post.

To make our rocket, we used one paper towel tube, cardstock and construction paper, glue, scissors, and markers for this project- basically, whatever we had on hand. You can adjust the materials to suit your needs. Remember folks, we like to think outside the box. ;)

I am guessing this is where I marked where to cut to match up to the length of the tube.

Moon Sand

Today's project is a messy, but fun one! Did you know you can make moon sand at home? It only takes two ingredients too (unless you want color)!

All you need is cornstarch and shaving cream. You can add food coloring or other natural dyes you might find around the house, such as beet powder or turmeric. We used turmeric and it turned our moon sand into a pretty, earthy yellow.

I just eyeballed it and added more shaving cream and cornstarch as needed. We started with about a cup of cornstarch on the table. Feel free to put it in a bowl if you want to keep the mess under better control. ;)
