How to make the craft
First you will have to take five polo sticks and put them one on top of the other as you see in the image. Once you have them, you will have to put an elastic band at the beginning and another at the end, as you can see in the images. Then, take two more polo sticks and put them as you see in the image: one pole below and one above crossed horizontally.
Once you have reached this point, put the elastic band in the lower part of the two polo sticks that you just put, as you can see in the image. Later, take another rubber band or two of them if they are small and put them in the shape of a cross as you see in the image so that it is well attached.
Then take the cap from the bottle and glue it as you see in the image. If it is a plug with a base, much better because it will be much easier to glue it to the pole. Finally take the small cotton balls and you will have your catapult ready to use.
