A small catapult model made from craft sticks, a rubber band, and a Q-tip, rendered in a painted style.

It’s made for beginners and only uses 6 total parts. Here’s why it’s super simple: ✅ Why it’s easy: • Only 4 craft sticks, and 3 of them are just stacked. • No cutting (except a small piece of straw). • You only need one rubber band, no complicated wrapping. • You just tape or glue things together. • You pull the Q-tip back by hand — no fancy button needed. 🛠️ Summary of the build: 1. Stack 3 sticks → that’s your handle. 2. Lay 1 stick across the top → that’s your launcher arm. 3. Tape a piece of straw on top → for the Q-tip to slide through. 4. Stretch the rubber band between the handle and arm → that’s your launcher power. 5. Glue 2 blocks under the handle → so it stands up. 6. Pull back Q-tip and let go → it shoots! Mehr sehen
