Air Pressure Rockets!


Air pressure rockets to be exact.  This was a third birthday gift for ChaseKBH from friends who I think actually bought the rockets for Jamie.  Regardless, ChaseKBH enjoyed sending these high into the air.  We have been talking about air pressure for a bit.  He knows that there are zillions of air particles pressing down on him.  Unfortunately, that also means that, on occasion, he yells at the air particles.  I'm not sure how well we're understanding science here.  We do like things that go boom, and we definitely like things that fly.  Thirty pounds of toddler doesn't really get much flight, however.   

The setup itself is super simple - take the stand out of the package, then click it together.  The box came with four foam rockets to launch.  There's a squeezable air reservoir attached to the launcher with a tube - jump on it, and the rocket goes off.  ChaseKBH was a bit terrified of the actual set up.  It took a couple attempts to get him to jump onto the reservoir.  Poor BeaABH just got to watch.
