Product Description:
Little builders will appreciate the clever designs for launching devices in this book. Clear, colorful illustrations show you how to construct them step-by-step. You can create a trebuchet (slinger), catapult, ballista (bolt thrower), and an onager (like a catapult) that can actually shoot marshmallows! If you are of a certain age and remember the TV show MacGuyver, that was my first thought – this is a book for little MacGuyvers! He was always creating something from whatever was on hand. These creations use items you can easily find: string, rubber bands, paper clips, craft sticks, cable ties, wood glue, nail file, pencils, duct tape, etc. ~Sara
