These sell a variety of rocket making kit – we’ve picked these sites because they have good photographs and lots of choice. Once you’ve found what you want it’s worth doing a web search (e.g. www.google.com and type in “stomp rocket site:uk”) for the best deal. Local toy shops (e.g. Kellers in The Mall in Norwich) often sell a limited range of stomp rockets too.
