Can two kids build and play at the same time?
Yes. The kit includes enough materials to build two complete catapults, so two children can construct their own launchers simultaneously. Each catapult uses its own set of wood pieces, dowels, rubber bands, and rope. The included mini bean bags serve as ammunition for both sides.
How does assembly work?
Real wood parts fit together with dowel pins and are secured by rubber bands and glue. The step‑by‑step picture guide walks builders through each stage. After assembly, kids can personalize each catapult with the included sticker sheet—no special tools required.

Tips for a fair catapult battle
Set up targets at equal distances, load one mini bean bag per turn, and take turns firing. The braided rope acts as the release mechanism—pull it back and let go. The person who knocks down the most targets wins. Because the structure is wood, it can be reused for many rounds.
Frequently asked questions
Does this require batteries or tools?
No. The catapult uses only the parts provided (wood pieces, dowels, rubber bands, glue). No batteries, screws, or extra tools are needed.
Can I buy additional bean bags separately?
The listed kit does not mention separate replacement bean bags. The set includes eight mini bean bags—enough for multiple rounds with two players.
Is the glue safe for children?
The glue tube is included for assembly. Adult supervision is recommended during the gluing step, and the glue should be used according to its label.
