Easy to make
VERY easy to make - took my 5 year old less than 10 minutes without any support! Was hoping for something to take up a bit more home learning time!Not particularly hardy, won’t last too many ‘blast offs’ but fun nevertheless!

Fun, but not easy for little ones!
I gave this to a little boy who was turning 6. His dad had to do it a couple times to get it right (he had a different valve on his bike pump, so it didn't attach easily and wouldn't stand until he found a little ledge to balance it on), but once he got it going, the kids really enjoyed it. It wasn't super easy for them to do it themselves, but they still enjoyed trying!The level of educational value depends more on the parents - the kid's dad didn't bother explaining that part, so I'm not sure how much they really learned, but ok, it was still fun!

Expensive
It’s essentially a small bottle with a cork and pump adapter. Expensive for what it is

Very small bottle
The bottle is very small so only makes a very small rocket. Better to print some instructions off the internet & make one with a large pop bottle. Sainsbury’s have a good one with instructions of their site, just search make a rocket with a pop bottle.

Difficult to stand up
Easy to set up. Had a couple of times out with some successful launches

Fantastic rocket!
We had great success with this rocket - managed to get it to fire to the height of the house multiple times! Did cringe at one point thinking we should have thought about health and safety at one point when the rocket fell over as my son was pumping using a bike track pump, but all was well! Great fun for everyone!

Great idea but doesn't last long...
We have had so so so much fun with this rocket, it's a great concept and actually works really well. My only disappointment is the quality, after crashing back down to the ground a handful of times the bottle is mis-shapen and battered, the stickers have all peeled off and the red spikes at the bottom are forever being stuck back in place. If this was slightly more durable it would be brilliant.
