Reviews
My son and his friend built this with ease and it was fun. It just wasn't able to stay standing up very well. Still great though.
We loved building this one - and like usual we integrated the concepts and actual parts into several other designs over time. However, the cardboard parts would have been so much better as laser cut wood like we got with the trebuchet.
He still uses it weeks later. He is 7 yrs old and needed some assistance but is very well explained and not to hard to assemble
