Comments about Blast-off Rockets Craft Kit :

Good idea but, doesn't work with Alaka Selser. We used a bigger bottle, put baking soda and vinegar to blast off.

Comments about Blast-off Rockets Craft Kit :

Great product but you MUST make sure to purchase enough so that staff can practice first. The instructions do not help very much with the correct ratio of alka seltzer (not included, make sure to buy!!!) and water. We discovered that the less water the better! You need plenty of air space in the bottle for the pressure to build otherwise the result is the tiniest pop, not too exciting for the children. Also, the launch pads get soaked QUICK! Messy but hey, the kiddos love that!

Comments about Blast-off Rockets Craft Kit :

They were fun to make, but did not shoot far. We doubled the alka-seltzers when we made our fuel. That seemed to help.

The kids had a lot of fun shooting these off. I didn't use the cone as it was too difficult to wrap and put on the cone. Overall it was fun
