A rocket with sparkling stars and bursting sparks – our printable firework rocket prop brings the fireworks right into your photo booth. Color it, cut it out, and attach it to a stick. This free photo booth prop is a highlight on New Year's Eve and the Fourth of July – and it's the safest rocket around.
Why This Firework Rocket Is a Hit
The big stars and sparks can be colored in glowing shades and look like real fireworks in photos. The rocket itself can be striped, dotted, or glittery. On a stick, you hold it up high and pretend it's blasting into the sky. For kids 9 and up, teens, and adults, it's a safe prop that lets the youngest family members join the fireworks fun too.
Ready to launch into the sky.

✂️ Craft Instructions: Turn the Template into a Mask
🧰 What You Need
- Printer + heavier paper or cardstock (65–110 lb)
- Colored pencils or markers
- Scissors
- Wooden dowel, craft stick or paper straw
- Tape or hot glue (hot glue: adults only)
Print the template on thick paper or cardstock.
Color the prop boldly – strong colors pop best in photos.

⚠️ Safety: eye holes, craft knives and hot glue are grown-up jobs. Don’t run or play rough while wearing a mask that limits your view – and never put elastic around the neck.

Fun Facts About Fireworks
Fireworks were invented more than 1,000 years ago in China. Their bright colors come from different substances: copper glows blue, sodium yellow, and strontium red. Real fireworks are for adults only, because they can be dangerous. Many animals are scared of the booms, so pets should stay safely inside during fireworks. A paper rocket for your photo booth is the safest way to celebrate with fireworks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The firework rocket prop is designed for ages 9 and up, teens, and adults. Older kids color and cut out the prop themselves, and an adult helps attach it to the stick – for example with a hot glue gun.
Will the mask fit a child’s face?
Yes – printed at actual size (100 %) on A4 or US Letter, the mask is roughly the size of a child’s face. For adults, scale it up to 110–115 % or print on A3/Tabloid.
What paper works best?
We recommend cardstock of at least 200 gsm (about 110 lb) so the prop doesn't bend on its stick. Wooden dowels, craft sticks, or paper straws make great handles.
Is the download free?
Yes, all masks and coloring pages on PureSketchy are 100% free for personal use, preschools, and schools.
Is there a German version?
Yes! You can find the German version at Feuerwerksrakete Fotorequisit.
