Blast off into learning with this fun rocket craft that helps kids practice spelling their name. They'll arrange the letters of their name on different rocket sections, making letter recognition and spelling an interactive adventure.
A 15–30 minutes craft for ages 3–7, using supplies you likely already have — Scissors, Cotton Balls, and Markers.
GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.
Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.
Create a free GlueStick account to track supplies and see if you have what you need at a glance. Leave your kids tips about where supplies are stored in your household so they can set up and clean up their creative spaces independently.
First, download and print the rocket craft template. Ask a grown-up to help you use the template to cut out all the shapes for your rocket. You will need to cut out enough squares for each letter in your name, plus one extra square. If your name is short, you can add a couple more blank squares to make your rocket taller. If you don't have a printer, you can draw squares and triangles yourself.

Put things away so your space is tidy for next time.
Check off each supply when it is put away — and any clean-up tips underneath are done too. You might find a fun surprise!
