With The pencil draw out the rocket starting with the rectangle, then triangle top & wings, then the last few details: window, rocket booster, and planets.

When the drawing is done, color in the rectangle with any color oil pastel. Go carefully around the window. With white oil pastel highlight one side of the rectangle. Choose a different color for the triangle and the wings, color it in and again with the white oil pastel highlight one side of each. Continue with the details of the rocket and then the planets, which also get a white highlight. The last step is the stars and the fire.

  1. I love this lesson so much!!
    Would this be as effective on black construction paper instead of black cardstock?

    1. Yes, absolutely! The card stock is just a bit more durable, but construction paper works just fine.
