Cute for the kids, but cheaply made. I feel like ours is about to fall apart at any moment. It doesn't catapult the balls very far. Not really worth the money to me.

It is fun to play with. I thought it was a little bigger than it was when it came. We bought it to use with water balloons. It still works but you have to be careful with how big the balloon is. If you using the balls it is awesome too.

My four year old had been talking about catapults for weeks so when I came across this on Amazon I had to buy it. He loves it, he sets up targets and tries to knock them down. I love that it keeps him busy for a while!

Really doesn't work as well as advertised, throws ball about 10 feet. doesn't throw the beer pong balls very far, disappointed in it.

Bought these for a five-year old and a nine year old. What a blast they have with them. I ordered a bag of 100 colored ping pong balls to go with them (of course the orange balls that come with them are much better, but I didn't notice any less fun when they split this bag of ping pong balls to continue shooting at each other...they loved the longer play time before the "round-up the ammunition" time).
They also use them for target practice using empty water bottles, soda cans, army men, etc.
I would actually recommend you get two of them so that you can use them with parent, sibling, friend, etc in a game of war.
A few things to realize. They are small...probably more than you think when you look at the in the photo. And the suction cups aren't the greatest but a hand can be used to stabilize them. Look at the directions to assemble them correctly...the launching lever and rubber band must be a specific way. They are made of plastic but a sturdy enough that it's been 3 months and they are still going strong. I haven't measured how far the balls can be launched, but I would say at least 20 feet. Parents found them irresistable too.
