Even though Aidan likes to use the saw, this was definitely an adult job. Use a saw to cut the 24″ inch pipe into a 6 inch piece, two 4 inch pieces, and two 5 inch pieces. Nerf balls, foam balls, or whiffle balls for shooting 🙂 One “T” shaped joint (1/2″) – also with no threading Two 90 degree elbow joints (1/2″) – make sure they have no threading where they connect Unfortunately, the finished product won’t shoot water balloons, but it shoots nerf balls really well! Lots of fun indoors and out!Ī 24″ length of pipe – we purchased 24″ pieces of 1/2″ pipe that was a pretty thick gauge (I have no idea if that is the correct term – not really an expert in plumbing!!)
Then, he made a shopping list for each of the boys! We looked at Home Depot’s website together, and he drew a picture with the parts we needed.
Aidan and I designed and built a PVC pipe sling shot yesterday! We had a lot of fun building a PVC pipe sprinkler last summer (the cool part is that you can rebuild it different ways!), and I thought that a sling shot or a catapult that could launch water balloons would be fun this year! After some discussion, we decided on a sling shot because it seemed a little simpler.Īidan had so much fun helping design this.
