This is a wonderful activity. My 6 and 7 year olds have invented about 50 ways to play. They’re just fascinated with it. Thanks for the how-to.

Christie – Sure thing- a good variation for older kids is a contest–who can make the best catapult. Also, if you make it on a hobby board, you can experiment with springs/ spring tension.

Oh this sounds like such fun! My boys are older but still love to play, and I think this will make for some good family fun. Thanks for the easy-to-follow instructions.

This was much loved, even by mum and dad. And it was really quick to make, most of my time was spent looking for the tape.

Thanks – I’m glad they enjoy it. Another variation is to make two catapults and face each other from opposite sides of the table. Each person sets targets on their side of the table–take turns shooting.

My 3 and 5 year olds just love this activity. You do a really good job explaining how to make a catapult–your design is really easy.
