Product Overview

I recently had the opportunity to review the Boy Craft Catapult Wars set and I was thoroughly impressed. This set is a great way to get kids involved in engineering and construction. The set includes 20 wooden pieces, 2 wooden dowels, 2 rubber bands, 8 mini beanbags, 2 braided ropes, 1 sticker sheet, 1 glue tube, and an easy to follow instruction booklet. Everything you need to build your own customized catapult!

The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I built the catapult with my 8 year old daughter and it took us about 30 minutes. It was really fun watching her build it step by step and seeing the excitement in her eyes when she finished it! She also loved decorating it with stickers and decals that were included in the set.

The quality of the materials is excellent. The wood pieces are sturdy and durable while still being lightweight enough for younger children to handle easily. The rubber bands are strong enough to launch the beanbags accurately without breaking or stretching out over time. The mini beanbags are made from soft fabric material which makes them safe for indoor play without risk of injury.

This set is perfect for group activities such as siblings at home or playdates with friends. We had a blast playing catapult wars together using the mini beanbags included in this set. Its great for teaching children problem solving skills as they work together to plan strategic attacks on their opponents catapults! Plus, its so much fun that you wont even realize youre learning something along the way!

Overall, I highly recommend the Boy Craft Catapult Wars set for anyone looking for a fun and educational building project that can be shared with family and friends alike. It encourages creativity and teamwork while also providing hours of entertainment value for money!
