Using the Kidoozie Slingshot Rocket is a breeze. First, make sure you're in an open outdoor area. Then, pull back the elastic cord. Hold the rocket by its tail and release it when you're ready to launch. Watch it soar into the sky! When it comes to safety, always aim in an open space away from people and breakable items. The soft foam pad on the front is there to protect, but still be careful. For maintenance, keep it dry and store it in a cool place. If the elastic cord gets worn out over time, it might be time to get a new one. Enjoy your rocket - launching adventures!
