I saw this idea for Jumping Cups on typepad, thought it was genius and had to give it a go! I wanted something a bit more Bubble proof than paper though (she can be a bit enthusiastic with her toys :-D) so made the rocket part out of felt instead. I copied their rocket shape as closely as I could because I thought it was just so cute, and then attached it to a band of felt that I then stitched into a cuff to fit over the cup. Their instructions were so easy to follow and it was a matter of minutes to assemble the cup part of the project. It took a few practices but bubble eventually mastered the art of launching her rocket - it's been a hit all week!
WE USED:
* two plastic drinking cups
* tape
* felt and embroidery thread
* scissors
* two large rubber bands
