The science behind catapults is simple yet history shows the complexity of these contraptions. Here is an easy-to-build catapult that is safe and easy-to-use for even small children.

My daughter, Eliana, fell in love with elephants at the age of 2.

There are countless other analogies - Come and open up your elephant ears and never forget to learn large with my daughter and me!
