Bought for my 6yr old, but turns out my 3yr daughter wants to be a siegh engineer!!! Can throw a marble size lump of clay about 10meters!! Good fun and would buy again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun little gift *by S***M on 12 July 2020* Good novel fathers day gift. Father and son have had great fun launching little missiles at the mother and daughters! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't glue it the first time. *by I***R on 29 December 2020* 10 yr old daughter enjoyed this. The finished item quite powerful. She followed the diagrams well coping with everything except the strings/knots. A diagram early in instructions is misleading and by following it and glueing (grr ... should assemble, check, disassemble and glue) the cog wheel ended up the wrong way round. Would have preferred a model where there was a crank to wind the catapult arm back rather than the unrealistic pulling it back by hand. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pathfinders STEM Kits – Leonardo da Vinci Catapult kit | Trebuchet Science Kits for Kids Age 12-14 | Toys for Ages 8-13 Physics Toys | Kids Engineering kit | Learning Resource | Engineering - PATHFINDERS STEM Kit – Leonardo da Vinci Bombard Cannon | Science Kits for Kids Age 12-14 | stem Age 12-14 Physics Toys | Kids Engineering kit - Pathfinders STEM Kit – Leonardo da Vinci Helicopter Model kit Science Kits for Kids Age 12-14 | stem Kits for Kids Age 12-14 Physics Toys | Engineering | Learning Resources --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/54322912-pathfinders-leonardo-da-vinci-catapult-kit-for-kids-model-wooden](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/54322912-pathfinders-leonardo-da-vinci-catapult-kit-for-kids-model-wooden) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
