How to Build a Catapult (Part 2 of 4)
I could teach you how to make some traps if you’d like. Or better yet, let’s put together a catapult.
Mark continued. “I could teach you how to make some traps if you’d like. Or better yet, let’s put together a catapult. That’ll be the best defense for your kingdom. What do you say?”
Jacob looked at Mark and nodded.
“Is it okay if we go play now, Laura?” asked Mark, his lip upturned into his goatee.
Laura laughed and grabbed the plate from the center of the table. “What type of supplies will you need for this catapult of yours?”
“Let’s see what you got,” said Mark, looking to Jacob. “Do you have any craft supplies?”
Jacob grabbed Mark by the hand and pulled him towards the drawers on the other side of the counter. The six-year-old opened the silverware draw and peered in, standing on his tip-toes to get a look inside. Mark looked inside too.
“There,” said Jacob, accumulating a handful of Popsicle sticks as he picked them from the drawer one by one.
“We could use some of these too,” said Mark, grabbing some rubber bands.
“We’ll need something else,” Mark tapped his fingers on the counter as he looked around. “Hmm.” He opened the medicine cabinet and took the cap from atop the cough syrup. “Mind if we use this?” he asked Laura.
She nodded and walked over to another drawer. “Here’s some clay. Use it to stick your contraption together.”
Jacob took the clay.
“But you said before that my clay would get dirty in the sandbox,” said Jacob.
“It’s okay, we can get you some more,” replied his mother. “Go and protect your kingdom.”
