Leonardo redesigned the catapult around 1485, and used the springlike energy stored in bent wood to give power to the swing arm. Safety Warning Chocking Hazard - contains small pieces and should not be used with small children Review: Da Vinci catapult - Great little model, says 14yr + but I would say easier than that, plus good instructions. 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. Review: Nice little project - Kids loved it - used a glue gun rather than the supplied glue as one side parted but I think that maybe the tension i set on the spring pieces. ## Features - WHAT IT IS?

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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little project *by A***A on 30 October 2020* Kids loved it - used a glue gun rather than the supplied glue as one side parted but I think that maybe the tension i set on the spring pieces. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to build but instructions are in german *by C***. on 5 September 2024* Item took 5 days to arrive but was well packaged. Detailed instructions but in German. Works very well, especially with marbles but needs adjustment to ropes if they become slack. Care needed with assembly to ensure parts are put together the right way around. ## 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.com.cy/products/54322912-pathfinders-pfd-17-leonardo-davinci-catapult-da-vinci-inventions-stem](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/54322912-pathfinders-pfd-17-leonardo-davinci-catapult-da-vinci-inventions-stem) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
