Celebrate the holidays in true Estes fashion with Wiggle All The Way: Advent to Ignition. This limited-edition 25-day countdown transforms the spirit of the season into an unforgettable journey of creativity and discovery. Each numbered bag holds a new piece of the Wacky Wiggler™ rocket, slowly revealing the process of real model rocketry one day at a time.

From connecting body tubes to adding key components, every day introduces a hands-on activity that teaches the science of flight in a fun and approachable way. Builders get to see how each part contributes to a real working rocket, leading up to a spectacular finale that brings the project to life on the launch pad.

Build, Decorate, and Launch

Over the course of 25 days, you will build and personalize your very own Estes Wacky Wiggler™ rocket. The design features molded plastic fins, a durable 1.1 inch diameter body, and a distinctive featherweight tumble recovery system that keeps flights exciting and easy to track. Measuring over 17 inches tall and weighing just 2 ounces, this lightweight rocket reaches up to 1000 feet in altitude on standard Estes engines like the B6-4 or C6-5.

As you progress through each day’s challenge, you will add fins, nose cones, connectors, decals, and custom touches that make your rocket one-of-a-kind. The final days include a complete Porta-Pad II launch pad and Electron Beam launch controller, along with three B6-4 engines and recovery wadding, providing everything you need for up to three real launches. It’s a complete experience that blends building, learning, and the thrill of flight.

A Holiday Experience Like No Other

Whether it’s gifted to a young rocketeer or enjoyed as a family project, Wiggle All The Way delivers a hands-on STEM adventure that captures the magic of anticipation. Each day brings something new, from tools and ornaments to key rocket components, culminating in a liftoff that rewards patience, creativity, and curiosity. The excitement builds with every step until the final countdown and launch, making this a holiday memory that will last far beyond December.
