It’s a great way to encourage kids who may be reluctant to learn how to sew, especially if they love science and rockets.

Sewing is such an underrated life skill but it has enormous value. (How many of us have passed up a nearly perfect shirt because it needed a small alteration, or struggled to find something that fit our needs?) Not only can you fix your clothing and avoid excess waste, but you can learn to make or alter clothing to suit your personal needs or tastes. Plus, it’s a great fine motor skill for kids and can be a wonderful meditative activity. Whenever we need to cut out intricate shapes from felt, I always grab some freezer paper and use the freezer paper trick to cut out our felt shapes, but good-quality felt also makes all the difference. If the intricate details of this Felt Rocket craft are too difficult for your beginning sewer, I would suggest using a fabric puffy paint for the smaller details and using some felt or hot glue to attach tiny pom poms instead of those little tiny circles. I love to pair our crafts with a book, and Ella suggest pairing this with The Guinness Book of Science and Stuff. This is the book that taught Ella how to read – it contains awesome photographs along with short blurbs, and the pictures were often interesting enough to encourage her to decipher the text. It was so hard to get this girl excited to read, but this book was our “magic bullet.” #PRINTABLE SHAPE ROCKET HOW TO#

Tip: if some of the smaller pieces of this sewing project are too tricky, use fabric puffy paint to add details. Select felt fabrics for the rocket craft. (Or trace the template pattern directly on the felt if not using the freezer paper method.) Trace the template patterns onto freezer paper and iron onto the felt. Use scissors to cut out the traced patterns. Grab the 2 circle cutouts and any one of the bullet pattern cutouts (the rocket base shape).

Place the 2 circles on the rocket base and stitch around the sides to attach them. Do running stitches around the sides to attach the round felt cutouts with the rocket base. Place the small flame pattern on the big flame pattern. You can stitch the flame patterns together or keep them unstitched in this step. Place the top corner part of the rocket and place it on the top corner of the front rocket base. Place the other rocket base under the front rocket base.
