Fold a paper rocket with a real pointed nose
One tall fuselage strip wraps into a tube, topped with a narrow, pointed nose cone folded from the same shape as a house roof, just stretched tall and thin. A porthole window and two flat fins are printed right on the fuselage.

- 2
Color the fuselage, porthole and fins while the sheet is still flat.
- 3
Cut around both pieces and crease every dashed line.
- 4
Roll the fuselage into a tube and glue the tab behind the first panel.
- 5

What's actually printed
The fuselage is a tall four-panel strip with a glue tab, one panel showing a round porthole window and two showing a triangular fin. The nose cone is a separate narrow, tall piece that folds down its center ridge into a point.
Assembling it
Cut around both pieces, fold every dashed line, then roll the fuselage into a tube and glue the tab behind the first panel. Fold the nose cone along its ridge and set it on top of the tube — the pinch at the ridge is what gives it a pointed look instead of a flat roof.
About the fins
The fins are drawn flat on the fuselage rather than built as separate fold-out pieces, to keep the build to two simple parts. They still read clearly as fins once colored in — this is a decorative standee, not a scale model.
Questions
What do I need besides the printout?
Scissors and a glue stick, or tape, are enough — no extra materials required.
Do the fins actually fold out?
No, they're printed flat on the fuselage and colored in — the rocket still stands on its own once assembled.
What age is this good for?
Generally manageable from about age 6 up with some help; younger kids can color the flat sheet before an adult assembles it.
Are there other shapes to build?
Yes — see the matching paper house, robot, and building crafts.
