    They had a great time after Christmas doing this together. Glad I got it for them! They had fun and it was challenging making sure they did it right so that it would work in the end :)

    This was purchased for a 9 year old boy. Instructions were clear with great pictures. I helped with assembly but he did most of it himself. Functions well shooting a ping pong ball about 6 foot across the room. Duriability is the only reason for a one star deduction this is a toy that you cannot play with rough and is best used under adult supervision.

    Purchased for my 13 year old son. He had a great time putting it together but we had even more fun playing games with the catapult and bouncing the ping pong balls across the room. Works great and is a fantastic learning tool for young kids. We love Hex Bug.

    Excellent product, I think the concept is great. It took a while to build so I'd recommend it for kids who are very detail oriented and want to take time to experiment, though the actual catapult that is the main thing that can be constructed he plays with all the time.

    My kids loved it. It was a little difficult for them to put it together, but they figured it out. The wheels tend to pop off, but that doesn't interfere with it's operation.

    It took time to put this together but it looks like it does on the box and it works great. It's fun to shoot things across the room and try to hit small targets.

    This was a gift for my grandson. He was happy to receive the catapult kit. I’m not sure if he’s built it yet, but he was looking forward to it.
