Make a catapult | Make your own siege equipment

Fling small objects across your room as Leonardo da Vinci intended. This kit brings his sketches into reality.

Leonardo da Vinci was an inventor and artist who devised new ideas and redesigned inventions from earlier times. This catapult is one of his redesigns from the medieval catapults of 600 or so years earlier. Only two drawings of his catapult have been found, and we have modified it to make it easier to make and use as a working historical model.

This kit includes everything you need to build: Precut wood pieces and easy-to-follow instructions. 

Ages 14+
