This rocket toilet paper roll craft would be fun for a space summer camp theme, as a pretend play prop or just as a fun DIY toy.

What you need to make the rocket toilet paper roll craft:

Empty toilet paper roll (or a paper towel roll cut in half)

Aluminum foil

Foil cupcake liner

Red tape

Star sticker

Black construction paper

Red tissue paper

How to make the rocket toilet paper roll craft:

Cut a piece of aluminum foil to fit the toilet paper tube. Wrap the foil around the tube and secure the ends in place with glue.

Flatten a foil cupcake liner and fold it in half. Fold one side in toward the middle and secure it in place with glue. Open the wrapper up to form a cone shape. Attach the cone to the top of the toilet paper tube.

Cut a small windshield out of black construction paper and glue to the center of the tube. Decorate with red tape and a star sticker.

Cut out a long piece of red tissue paper. Use scissors to cut slits along one edge of the paper and glue the paper to the inside bottom of the tube.

Your rocket is complete! As always, when crafting with kids, feel free to give them some general instruction and then allow them to take some creative freedom over their project altering the look in the way that they like! Any project should be more about the process than the end result.
