“Have fun storming the castle!” ~ The Princess Bride

 

A Trebuchet

A trebuchet was a siege engine used during the Middle Ages.

By using a counterweight the arm could sling stones at castles.

To make this toy you will need a straw, a piece of string and several coins for weight.

Fortress to attack is optional.
