This catapult requires only a few materials, but provides a lot of fun. Get ready with lots of marshmallows or small pom poms for hours of play. Add competition to the fun by downloading and printing some of our goals. Place them on the ground so kids can shoot them and see what it takes to make the perfect bull's-eye.
