Begin by painting the background of your canvas blue.

I love creativity and although these colours are a guide, your child can choose other colours if they choose. 

Set aside to dry. 

Once the canvas is dry, cover your child’s hand in red paint. Then add bits of yellow and mix on the hand. 

Create a handprint on the bottom half of the canvas. 

The handprint will be the fire from the space shuttle. 

Next use your paintbrush to paint the top end of the rocket. Add purple for the body, green wings and a red nose. 

Once the painting is dry, add extra detail to customise your own rocket.
