74% found the instructions easy to follow, but 26% got confused at times
I am satisfied with the quality of the kit.
I didn't realize it was a DIY project when I bought it.
The kit takes a long time to put together and is likely to fall apart, although the instructions are clear.
I learned that the assembly of the whole catapult is performed using glue and not a single nail or screw. It teaches children how to use glue to stick together wooden blocks.
73% appreciated the opportunity for bonding, though 27% felt it required too much parental involvement
My son and I had the idea to double up the rubber bands for a harder launcher. Now, we are playing with little wooden block castles that we made.
I recommend letting the glue dry overnight, which can be challenging for a 6-year-old with little patience.
Building the craft kit was frustrating for me, my husband, and our son.
67% liked the safety precautions, although 33% had concerns about the small parts
Building the kit was frustrating for us and our family. We had to fix many pieces and replace some with pieces we made, indicating that the safety features of the kit were not up to the mark.
68% liked the convenient storage design
The kit includes two complete catapults, four bean bags, six targets, complete directions, and a set of stickers for each one.
67% praised the high-quality wooden pieces, while 33% found some rough edges
I used short tiny nails to strengthen the main frame after applying a good wood glue.
I found the wood glue to be more like play-doh, making it difficult to build the product.
