Made 2 boys happy!

Got one for a gift and one for my 11 year old son (who already has the catapult); both boys love it! Now they're planning on making a larger model so they can launch watermelons.

Just make sure you take your time in building this kit. Follow directions (really), square things up and leave time for glue to dry. You won't be disappointed

Forces in Motion

I used the trebuchet kits in my Physical Science classroom. Students built them and demonstrated forces in motion. The students had a blast, and will be using them again in their math classes in the future to discuss the properties of parabolas. Next time, I will try to plan this unit to conincide with social studies' units on medieval times for a more rounded approach. All in all, the trebuchets were a great lab for science, math, and social studies.

This product was great. I knew that the hangman's knot was going to be difficult so I practiced and practiced and finally after an hour I got my technique down for tying them. Really cool knot but not good for 11 year old boys to tie.

Great Gift!

The recipient (age 12) immediately opened this and went to work building! The instructions were easy for him to follow and it went together without a problem -- the only thing he needed help on was knotting the strings for the sling. After completion, it worked! Fun kit, fun toy.
