Catapult Kit

This catapult kit makes a working single-lever catapult.

This innovative wooden catapult kit allows you to build a working replica of the most infamous and powerful medieval siege engine – a weapon that once smashed down castle and fortress walls!

The catapult kit is based on historic designs. The materials are just wood, rope and leather joined by wooden dowels, not screws or nails. No elastic, rubber, motor or batteries are used to create the movement of the devices' swing arms. All pieces are pre-cut and drilled, requiring only PVA adhesive to assemble. The instructions are detailed and complete with educational notes. Suitable for children 10+, this catapult kit only takes an hour or two to complete.

The catapult can shoot a ball of soft modelling clay (included in the catapult kit) over 5m!

Safety instructions are included, and children are recommended to use under adult supervision. While this catapult kit will only be smashing down imaginary castle walls, it is loads of fun to build and use.
