The boys are really into App games like Angry Birds and Grumpy Snowmen because of the sling shot features. I was surprised to learn how easy it was to create a life size one for them. I chose PVC pipes because they are cheap and very easy to work with. We have been slinging ice cubes with them but I plan to build a few targets this summer so we can all practice our aim. I drilled four holes ingot he PVC and fished the bungee cords through. This bungee cord was used from a hand held water balloon sling shot. I made another one using actual bungee cords and sewed them to nylon. This one was much easier for the kids to use. I plan to pick up another one to replace the sling system I sewed.

I made these for an elementary school's field day. To secure them in grass, we pounded a rebar pipe into the ground. It worked perfectly. Any pipe will do.make sure the pipe sticking out of the ground sits inside the pvc pipe at least half way.

I love this idea for the lake. How long are the posts cut for the sling itself Leave a Reply. |
