Straw Launchers

Bubble tea straws are thick enough that the launchers actually hold their shape when you fire them, and the markers gave the projectiles a personal touch my kids loved. We spent a whole afternoon launching streamer-tailed rockets across the yard, and they held up way better than I expected for somet

The streamers attached so easily and made each launch look like a tiny fireworks show. My kids spent a solid hour customizing the projectile shapes with markers before we even fired the first one, and the bubble tea straws held up through dozens of launches. Definitely worth it for a rainy afternoon

The bubble tea straws are a perfect size for these—chunky and sturdy, so they really launch. I loved drawing different faces on the three projectile shapes, and the markers made them easy to tell apart mid-air. My kids and I got a solid hour of chaos out of this before the streamers wore out.
