CLOTHESPIN CATAPULT

SUPPLIES:

• Clothespin
• Block of wood
• Milk or juice cap
• Gorilla Glue or similar
• Markers or Paint

How to: Glue your clothespin onto the center of a small block of wood with the sides and edges sanded down. Glue the milk cap to the top of clothespin near the edge of the “closed” side of the clothes pin. Hand the kids some markers or paint and let them decorate their catapults – Can be done before or after adding the clothespin to the block. Once dry, grab small objects that can be launched without causing harm to people, walls, floors and the like. We used mini-corks, but mini-marshmallows and pom-poms would work too.
