Wooden Catapult – Leonardo Da Vinci

Build yourself a fully working wooden catapult from this clever kit. Everything you need is included – just piece the wood together following the very clear instructions and then take aim and fire. The kit also comes with some clay pellets to aim and they will fly for several metres.

We had this at Christmas time – we found that sprouts make excellent missiles as well.

• The instructions are really clear
• The model works particularly well
• They can really see how the design could be used
