Step by Step – How to make a windsock kids craft

This craft can get messy, which means triple the fun!!

Secondly, create the rocket top. Using the red foam and a small bowl, trace a circle onto the foam. Cut the circle out, then make a single cut to the middle of the circle.

Fold the circle onto itself to form a cone. Glue it together to secure.

Next, glue the top of the paper roll and attach the cone.

Cut the paper streamer into lengths, about 24 inches each. Three reds and three white per paper tube.

Fold the one end of each length and glue inside of the paper roll, alternating red and white.
