Mini Trebuchet : Wooden Model Building Kit

What did it take to knock down a castle wall? A lot of physics, actually. The mini Trebuchet: Siege Engine Engineering Kit invites kids to find out firsthand by building a fully functional siege engine from scratch and launching it themselves. Counterweights. Pivot points. Release angles. These aren't vocabulary words here; they're decisions kids make during assembly that change how far the trebuchet throws. The history is real. The mechanics are real. For retailers looking for STEM engineering kits that hold a kid's attention from the first piece to the final launch, this one delivers. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Details: • Pre-cut wooden models for DIY assembly • For ages 8+ • Estimated build time 30 minutes • Built dimensions 7”x 2 ¼” x 3 ½” (mini!) • Includes educational manual * these things are packaged as educational toys for kids, but we know some of us adults would love to lay siege to a house of cards at the next family gathering, with or without kids around.
