Making a Catapult Out of Two Pencils and a Rubber Band
A toy catapult is a toy that can provide hours of simple playtime for boys and girls. Making a catapult with two pencils and a rubber band is an easy process that you can do in a matter of five minutes. With two pencils as a stabilizer and a rubber band as the launching power, you can build a catapult your child can use to knock down homemade targets.
Instructions
- 1 Place two pencils of equal length into a solid base, such as the ground or in a hunk of foam. This will keep the pencils stable when the catapult is launched.
2 Break a rubber band and tie one end to each of the pencils. A simple slipknot will work. To tie this knot, loop each rubber band end around itself and pull the ends tight in the same way you tie a shoe, then fold the rubber band ends to create a loop. Pull one end through the loop and tug to tighten it.
3 Staple a small piece of cardboard to the center of the rubber band to use for a seating device. The cardboard should be about half the size of a matchbook cover. This is where you will place the tiny pebbles you want to launch.
