Marshmallow Catapult Project

We got an email for Kailey’s teacher about a project:

Monday we are going to begin learning about simple machines. What I need from you is to help your child make a catapult for a large marshmallow launching competition. This is due May 30th. On that day we will hold our competition on the black top behind the school. I’ll let you know what time we decide later. It’s fun to watch so I hope you can come! You can search on the internet for ideas on your catapult. I went to Google and searched for images to get ideas. You can also do a plain google for instructions. PLEASE DONT FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO HAVE ANYTHING FANCY!!!!!! Just have fun making it with your child. I only ask that they aren’t huge. If your child can’t carry it to class by themselves then it is too big. :) HAVE FUN!!!

So, here’s our marshmallow catapult and even had to test it out!

You think we got a shot at winning??? I love my son’s pump fist at the end. :)
