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"

Fabulous paper planes
|
|
For most kids (boys and girls) paper folding (origami) starts with making a paper airplane. Folded out of any rectangular piece of paper (including paper money for those rich kids on the block) the paper plane is a fantastic thing.  It's so simple, a paper airplane will only take a minute to fold up, and yet it really does something when you've made it. Like riding a bike, you never really forget how to make a paper plane, but in case you have forgotten, or would like to try some new paper plane designs, you'll find the clearest instructions on dadcando, ready for you to teach a whole new generation of kids the pleasure of areo-engineering and flight dynamics from a simple sheet of paper.
Use the awesome dadcando downloadable printables to make the coolest paper airplanes on the planet, see which design can fly the furthest, and if you have an idea for another colour pattern or even an alternative folding scheme, why not send it in to us and if it's good enough we'll put it up with the others, for everyone to enjoy. Click here to send us your plane designs.
Have a look at these fantastic new templates . . .
the RAF Tornado GR4 , the Tornado F-3 and now for the first time, Concorde . All my kids could say was... "Cool, they look like real planes!" Build them and fly them in 5 minutes. Why wait for the kids to come home, unlock the big kid in you, it’s the best kind of paper craft you’ve ever seen.
