Stomp Rockets: The perfect start to model rocketry for kids?

When it comes to space exploration, rockets are probably one of the coolest things you'll learn about as a kid.

Zooming off into space, traveling to new planets and searching for potential life are all things that feel like they should be impossible.

For any age of space enthusiast, it's pretty darn cool.

For kids, though, learning about rockets can mark an amazing introduction, sparking a lifelong love of space.

But, while real rockets aren't really obtainable, kids can always start out with model rocketry.

One of the most child-friendly, affordable and safest ways to get into this hobby, though, is by trying out Stomp Rockets.

These toy rockets can be propelled into the air by a simple stomp onto a launcher, hence the name.

Attached with a flexible hose, when you compress the launcher, it releases the air into the rocket and makes it fly.

A fairly simple concept, but one that can be a lot of fun for kids and very educational (without feeling like you're learning).
