Firework Rocket Character Grilling with a Spatula

A smiling firework rocket character stands beside a small round barbecue grill, holding a slotted spatula in one hand. The rocket wears a pointed cone-shaped top decorated with stars, and its wide-open grin and big eyes give it a cheerful, goofy look. Its other hand is a small fist held down at its side. The body is a tall rounded tube with striped shorts near the bottom, and two oversized shoes with curved legs. The grill sits on crossed legs with two little wheels. Try red, white, and blue for the stars and stripes, then use gray or black for the grill. The big shapes are easy for younger kids to fill in, and you can print extra copies for a 4th of July party table.
