This was my now 11-year-old daughter’s favourite birthday present.

You assemble this catapult on the basis of a mousetrap. The instructions are very good and everything you need is included in the set. Even the right drill. What you still need is a screwdriver and a small drill. A hand drill is enough. At the age of about 9, the children can do everything on their own without any problems, only Elise needed a little help when screwing in the screws.

And don’t worry. The chocolate kisses don’t fly that far. They are not heavy and have a great air resistance. Most of the time they also land completely unscathed and there is not the mess I had feared. Otherwise, the catapult also works very well with marshmallows.
