It really fires drinking straw darts and is immense fun
You can buy a wooden crossbow just like this for about £25 and wait for it to be sent to you, or download the instructions here and make it in 90 minutes from junk, with wood effect, right away! It's not much of a contest, is it. The superb firing action uses a rubber band and safely fires drinking straws (with flights to make sure they fly straight and true) for loads of harmless fun. The print out comes in two parts so you can make more than one. The instructions and a separate downloadable of the templates and wood effect pattern. The printouts are available in both A4 and US Letter version, just click on the size you want, to download it.
TIP:
Keep leftover straws from fast food restaurants, you never know when they might come in useful and amongst other things, they make great crossbow darts.

Posted by jolovesvlad - My son is only 3.5 so he is little young for this one... his Daddy however had a great time with it. We were in such a hurry to play with it that I chose to leave off the "wood"

The Dragonry
|
|
For all those who may think, in their more reckless moments, that it might be easier to steal a golden egg from under the warm belly of a gently sleeping dragon than would be to make one, it might be wise to heed the text of this ancient rhyme...
Here you'll find so much more than dragons; you'll find projects that make it possible to create fantastic stories and games of your own. Every project is totally original and explained with simple illustrated downloads so that you can do the project together or (depending on age) your child can do it on their own, with a little help from you at key stages, and make something that really looks gorgeous.
All the projects are of the highest quality, because quality and attention to detail are very important to children.
So set your imagination alight with our wonderful dragons projects. Follow the story of Kaptin Scarlet, the famous philanthropist, whose 19th Century adventuring to bring back numerous weird and wonderful artifacts was the delight and fascination of civilized Victorian society. His motto, Life is Your Adventure, is as true now as it ever was, and is perfect for kids and dads everywhere, so make it yours and make the most of the time you spend together.
