James is very interested in rockets, space, aliens and astronauts at the moment. Possibly the result of following the Curiosity Rover a little bit too much over the last week. To ensure he had a proper rocket, we found a colouring in sheet for him to decorate, then we cut out the rocket and glued it on to the painting.
James had a look at the picture and said that the rocket was missing something. On closer enquiry he said it was missing the red hot fire that the rocket has to try and run away from. Glitter and glue provided the flames to propel the rocket into space (I admit that I told him that the flames usually came from the engines and were used to propel the rocket - Youtube provided some examples we watched). While looking for the glitter we came across a sheet of star stickers and an empty frame, so of course we had to use them both. The frame was perfect for the picture and adds a nice finishing touch.
James is just sticking the final star sticker on to the picture. I liked it so much that we have hung it on the wall in our hallway. It looks rather good under the red light there.
