How to Make a Soda Bottle Rocket Launcher With Your Kids
Are your kids fascinated by things that fly?
Want an outdoor adventure that’s part mechanics, part crafts and all fun?
Build a rocket launcher with your kids and every time you finish a 2-liter bottle of soda pop, you can send it soaring.
In this article I’ll show you how to launch a bottle rocket adventure with your family. Start with a root beer float, add some arts and crafts, bring on a few building tools and create some high-flying fun.
Why Build a Pop Bottle Rocket Launcher?
Pop bottle rockets provide hours of fun for kids of all ages and all personalities. Got a future engineer? She’ll love to build the rocket launcher. An artsy-craftsy kid? Watch him create the coolest rocket ever to grace a soda bottle. Are you a little competitive? Launch your rocket again and again to see just how high you can make it go.
A rocket launch is great fun for everyone. And it starts with a delicious root beer float. (Or, your budding environmentalists can search through the recycling bin for a bottle to repurpose into a rocket.)
The best part is that once you build the rocket launcher, you can use it over and over again. Just add a new pop bottle rocket for another day of fun with your kids.
