How to Solve the Cute Rocket Ship Dot-to-Dot Puzzle
Ready for lift-off? This friendly little rocket ship is fuelled up and waiting for a young astronaut to bring it to life! With 66 dots building it up piece by piece, budding space explorers get to discover how a rocket is really put together. Grab a pencil, count down from ten, and let's blast into space!
1–17 — The Nose Cone
Start at dot 1 and work through to dot 17 to draw the pointed nose cone at the very top of the rocket. This is the tallest, narrowest part of the puzzle, so encourage a slow, steady hand as the lines taper to a point.
Fun fact!
The pointed shape of a rocket's nose cone isn't just for looks — it helps the rocket slice through the air with as little resistance as possible, saving huge amounts of fuel on the way up.

18–34 — The Main Body
Continue from dot 18 to dot 34 to draw the long, tall body of the rocket. These are long, straight lines, which are great practice for keeping a ruler-steady hand without an actual ruler — encourage children to look ahead to the next dot before drawing.
Fun fact!
Most of a rocket's body isn't crew space at all — it's mostly fuel tanks. A rocket can be over 90% fuel by weight when it takes off, which is why they look so enormous compared to the tiny capsule on top.

35–50 — The Fins
Trace dots 35 through 50 to add the triangular fins near the base of the rocket. Fins mean sharp corners, so remind children to pause at each point, change direction deliberately, and keep the edges crisp.
Fun fact!
Rocket fins work just like the feathers on an arrow — they keep the rocket flying straight and steady instead of tumbling as it speeds up through the sky.

51–66 — The Engine Flames
Finish by connecting dots 51 through 66 to add the fiery blast of flames shooting out from the engines. Sixteen dots to the finish line — a bold, confident finish here makes the whole rocket look like it's really taking off!
Fun fact!
Rocket engines burn so hot and so fast that the flame can push a rocket to speeds of over 28,000 kilometres per hour — fast enough to circle the entire Earth in about 90 minutes.

Coloring Guide
Classic Silver and Red Rocket
Silver metal with bold red accents is one of the most popular ways rockets have been pictured since the early days of space travel.
- 1–17 (Nose cone): Crayola Scarlet — A red nose cone stands out brightly against the silver body below.
- 18–34 (Main body): Crayola Silver — Silver suggests the shiny metal hull of a real spacecraft.
- 35–50 (Fins): Crayola Scarlet — Matching the fins to the nose cone ties the whole rocket together.
- 51–66 (Engine flames): Crayola Orange — Bright orange flames show the powerful blast of the engines at lift-off.
Blue and White Rocket
Blue and white is a popular modern spacecraft colouring, often seen on shuttles and exploration vehicles.
- 1–17 (Nose cone): Crayola Cerulean — A bold blue nose cone gives this rocket a modern, sleek look.
- 18–34 (Main body): Crayola Silver (outline only) — A crisp white body is common on real spacecraft for heat protection.
- 35–50 (Fins): Crayola Cerulean — Matching blue fins complete the colour scheme.
- 51–66 (Engine flames): Crayola Orange — Every rocket, whatever its colour, blasts off with bright orange flame.
