Magic Tree House Space Adventure CRAFT

Believe it or not, The Magic Tree House Book Camp 4 Kids is 1/2 over!  Whew!  Time flies when you're having fun!  ;)  We have had a GREAT time reading, learning and creating with the 20 boys and girls who are joining us this week.  I already have to send out a BIG thank you to my helper - "Grandma Linda."  She has been a life saver - and the kids absolutely adore her.  ;) 

Here is a craft that was a HUGE hit today:

Rockets!

Materials:
a film canister (the white ones work best with a lid that fits inside the canister)
water
alka seltzer
paper rocket template

Steps:
Create your own rocket using the template - tape it onto the canister.
Fill the canister 1/4 full of water.
Place 1/2 of a tablet of alka seltzer in the canister. 
Place the cap on quickly.
Place the rocket on the ground and wait - it will soon BLAST OFF!!!  ;)
