With these confetti popper rockets you can blow things up inside without ever catching anything on fire! Explosive, yet completely safe and super fun for kids: That’s how I like to celebrate my independence. I know paper rockets have been made before but this rocket has a trap door in the bottom. Here’s how you make it: Tools you will need: a staplerscissorsa craft or needlework needlefun craft punches for confetti (if you make your own)hole puncher Now to build it!

Before starting, display your GRIM’TOUT tools in front of you: water based face paints in individual pots or palettes, pencils, sponges and brushes. Also prepare the following accessories: a bowl of clear water, kitchen paper or facial wipes, hair ties, band or clips to keep hair away from the face if necessary, and a mirror to show your creation to your child! :) The child must be sitting on a stable and high chair, so that you can see his face at the right height. Make sure the child’s face is clean. Carefully check that the child’s skin doesn’t show any redness, because even if our water-based face painting if made of high quality, it still can provoke allergic reactions on very sensitive skins. Be careful, GRIM’TOUT’s paint is water-based, which means it can last all day, but you should make sure the child does not rub his face, not to remove the product, especially right after its application.
