Gigo Toys STEM Kit Build Catapults Genius Toy 88 pieces 6 experiments plastic 8 years+

The STEM Build Your Own Catapults kit from Gigo Toys allows you to master physics concepts using medieval technology. The set includes six updated models of catapults, crossbows, and other medieval launchers with soft arrows and foam balls to build. These classic siege weapons from the Middle Ages are excellent tools for teaching physics, including lessons on force, energy, and motion.

A catapult is a medieval ballistic device that uses mechanical rubber bands and counterweights to launch projectiles—in this case, foam balls—into the air. The plastic parts can be reconfigured in a variety of ways: you can build the models from the manual or create your own designs, learning mechanical physics with simple and fun experiments.

The kit contains 88 pieces, 6 experiments, and an instruction manual. The 32-page full-color manual features step-by-step illustrated instructions for building the models and performing the experiments. As a bonus, it also includes folded cardboard blocks so you can build a fake castle wall to then be knocked down by the launched projectiles.

The product is made of plastic, rubber, and polystyrene, and is produced in Taiwan by Genius Toy. WARNING: Not suitable for children under 3 years old; contains small parts. Adult supervision is recommended while the child is playing. Read the instructions before use, follow them, and keep them for future reference.
