Simple Popsicle Stick Catapult

Instructions adapted from a post by Devin Collier


http://www.devincollier.com/how-to-build-a-simple-small-marshmallow-catapult/

Materials
 10 Jumbo Craft Sticks
 5-6 rubber bands
 1 Plastic Spoon

Instructions
Step 1 – Take 8 of the craft sticks and tie a rubber band tightly around one end.
Step 2 – Tie another rubber band tightly around the opposite end so all 7 sticks are bound
together.
Step 3 – Take the remaining 2 sticks and tie a rubber band on one of the ends. Try to
tie the band close to the edge of the sticks.
Step 4 – Insert the 7 sticks banded together through the 2 stick bundle as shown in the
illustration below.
Step 5 – Tie a rubber band in a cross fashion joining the two pieces. The closer the 8 stick
bundle gets to the edge, the more leverage the catapult will have.

 Step 6 – Use a few rubber bands and attach the plastic spoon on the end.
