Learn to build wonderful catapults

Posted on | April 30, 2009 | No Comments

A catapult is a wonderful device, very much popular among the children, in many shapes and sizes. Some of them use it to ward off bullies while some use it to steal mangoes and other tasty treats, hanging from the trees. It is actually a simple thing to use. Choose a target; aim your stone and fire. It’s as simple as dreaming in your sleep, but the catapults that are available in the market are quite costly and are broken easily. Even our very own raucous kids break their catapults so very often that the monthly expenditure that takes to buy these catapults exceeds the expenditure for milk and other essential items.

My son kept breaking his catapult again and again. He would start throwing tantrums if I didn’t get him a new one. Once he did not eat for a day just because I refused to buy him a new catapult. I had no other choice than to get him a new one just for the joy of seeing him happily showing off his wonderful weapons. One day I came across this website which has a lot of downloadable catapult blueprints that teaches kids how to make their own catapults. I showed this technique to my son and he caught it immediately. Now he flaunts to his friends about his wonderful catapult which he made all by himself. Thanks to this website my son has found a new happiness.
