4. Build a Catapult
A small catapult made from popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and a spoon is a hands-on engineering activity. Kids can test angles, distance, and force while having a blast launching small objects.
Why it works:
- Introduces basic physics and engineering
- Encourages problem-solving and iteration
- Fun for both indoor and outdoor play
Tip: Measure how far objects travel and experiment with different materials.
