Cut around one large rocket with a broad body, fins, and a flame contour.

A large rocket cutting challenge that develops careful steering across an outer curve, fins, and changing directions. Safety: Use age-appropriate, round-tip child scissors only under the direct supervision of a parent, teacher, or responsible adult.

Cutting Paths: Rocket combines a smooth body curve with clear fins and a broad flame outline. The right-edge entry route reaches an easy outer section of the body, away from the pointed nose and the more complex flame area.
