Frog Straw Rockets

      frog_straw_rocket_template.pdf

Step 1: Download the "Frog Straw Rocket Template" PDF and print it off. If you don't have a printer you can draw your best frog shape on any piece of paper. \
Step 2: Design your frogs! Give them some funky designs or build off the coloured frogs.
Step 3: Cut along the dotted line.
Step 4: Draw a line 5 cm away from one of the edges to create a long rectangle. I've used the back of the template to save paper!
Step 5: Cut along the line. This will be the paper that we'll use to create the tubes for the back of the frogs.
Step 6: Draw a line 5 cm from the end to make a square. Cut out this square.
Image
Step 7: Curl the square into a tube and tape it in place. You want to make the tube bigger than your straw so that it can easily slide on and off.
Step 8: Grab a piece of tape and use it to close one end of the paper tubes. We have to close off one end so that the air we blow into the straw doesn't escape and we can use it to launch our frogs.
Image
Step 9: Make sure you have your straw, enough tubes taped off at the end for each frog and of course your frogs.
Step 8: Tape the tubes to the back of your frogs making sure that the pinched off end is at the top by the head.

You're done!
