This catapult is one of da Vinci’s redesigns from the medieval catapults of 400 or so years earlier. While the Medieval catapult we made uses the force of twisted rope, this uses t he tension stored in bent wood to hurl objects – usually over 15 feet. With no modifications you can experiment with flinging grapes, and those fun mini marshmallows too! A great way to introduce graphing for kids! Age Rating: 14+ While the kit can be made by people younger than 14, (we think kids aged 9+ have the skills) it does launch a projectile, so is rated 14+. If used by people under 14, please make sure there is parental supervision for the launching. Show more
