We had the opportunity to take in Rocket Day with our youngest at the High Prairie Arts and Science Complex this afternoon. We joined the scores of families who attended to build three different homemade rockets. It’s amazing what you can do with Alka-Seltzer tablets, empty film canisters, manila folders and empty water bottles.
Each station had volunteers who kindly demonstrated how to create each rocket. After a little cutting, folding and a lot of scotch tape he was ready to launch. The only step he skipped was decorating. I was surprised that he didn’t take the time to customize the look of his rockets with the markers and crayons made available at each station. He’s usually pretty artistic. Then again, what boy wouldn’t choose high speed projectiles that crash to the ground over coloring?
What say you?
