Making a toy rocket (thelemmy.club)

My toddler is obsessed with rockets at the moment, so I decided to use an extra length of dowel to make him a sturdy one.

I'm currently brainstorming the best way to attach the fins, figured I'd see if anyone here had any ideas

Currently, I'm thinking of cutting perpendicular grooves from the bottom that the fins will slot into, with each pair of fins being a solid piece. But keep in mind I haven't made the fins yet, so that's definitely not set in stone.

Modeling after the v-2 because it looks as stereotypical as a rocket can

My toddler (famously unstable, unreasonable creatures) loves rockets (photo of sharpened stick).
