Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction: Build Implements of Spitball Warfare (1)

This is pretty much a must-have for most boys. My nine year old giggles with delight at his creations. He builds great little weapons with his friends and loves that he can find the materials he needs around the house by himself. This book has allowed him to create things he has always wanted to make - it is easy to follow and great fun. The directions are clear and the needed materials are everyday household items, such as plastic spoons, lighters, cloths pins, and rubber bands. I would highly recommend this little gem of destruction!! :)

I spent hours, days even checking this thing out.Buy this for your child.

This book is so much fun! It has great, easy to understand, clear graphics and diagrams. It's not pretentious or verbose; it gets right to the point of making stuff with easily accessible office supplies. I got this as present for my son, but we're using this book this year in two of my summer camps with kids! Most of the supplies can be purchased from the dollar tree, but because he doesn't use glue that often, you can feel a little better using the stuff you have around the house and dissembling it after you're done with say, your pencil cross bow. :) Warning, the fun is addictive and you may find yourself buying office supplies just to make all the weapons in this book.

Very enjoyable. If you have a young one with an overactive imagination who likes to make things.... that blow up, then this is a great book. As long as you don't get all up tight with the word "weapon" in the title, this book can be loads of fun. We got it for our 10 year old son and he dove right into it. I would highly recommend this for those with active kids who like to create.... and are making weapons anyway out of anything they can find. Nice book!

Get ready to destroy a lot of stuff. I got this book to not only share with my dad and guy friends but also to use the less dangerous options (not easily constructed by a kid by themselves ) for my classroom. Challenging the kids to build them and then having the catapults compete was a huge hit, even the parents got in on it and built their own to complete. A trip to Walmart (or your desk drawer) will have you building most of the book in a heartbeat.By no means are any of these safe for a kid under 12 that hasnt been schooled in safety (such as working in a woodshop, shooting skeet, archery) your main safety warning are going to be "DONT POINT THAT AT SOMEONE OR YOURSELF EVER" and "WEAR GOGGLES" for when they inevitably point them at eachother and themselves.You will not be disappointed, and makes a great "bonding" book for dads and daughters and dads and sons.The possibilities are endless, our living room was a Christmas warzone with all other presents ignored. If giving as a gift you may want to prepurchase all the building goodies. Its hard to wait to build things once you buy the book.

A nice book on how to make old weapons in mini forms.

When we got this book, it was an immediate hit! My 9 year-old boy has kept it in his backpack for a week. The ideas are great...catapults, rockets, darts, ect. The projects are laid out step-by-step to guarantee success. The materials needed are ordinary, easy-to-obtain items. We are planning a science camp this year and will definitely utilize some of the ideas. I have purchased several of these types of books, and usually the ideas are complicated and not easy to achieve. This book is different--just love it!

This book is cool. Most of the weapons look pretty easy to make. I haven't really made to may of them yet. I don't have a lot of pencils or bic pens at my office. Mostly gel pens. I would have given it a 5 star, but I don't think it really is that awesome, but it is a fun book. Don't let your kids get a hold of it because this is the kind of stuff I wish I had going to school.

Excellent for people of all ages and provides countless hours of fun. Highly recommend to those who are bored or would like to increase their enjoyment in the office.

Libricino stupendo per la costruzione di piccole armi da ufficio. Ben fatto e stupendamente rilegato e illustrato.

...habe es meinem Mann und seinen Bürokollegen geschenkt - natürlich nur für die Kaffeepause;)sie haben ziemlich viel nachgebastelt und hatten offensichtlichen Spass daran, es auszuprobieren...wer für grosse "kleine" Jungs, die schon alles haben, was sucht - Tadaa: ein super Geschenk!(und im übrigen: für die echten Kleinen auch geeignet - und auch Mama hatt Spass)Ich empfehle den Kauf einiger abgebildeter Utensilien dazu - dann kann das "Gebaschtel" gleich losgehenund jeder kann sein eigenes Erbsen-Minikatapult bald ausprobieren!

Got this as a gift for my brother. It's an adorable little book and he loved it =)

Useful gift.
