PeterPan Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thank you!!!! My dd thinks this is terrific, and she has been reading, building, and freaking us out with what the creations can do. She impaled a plastic tarp so fast with this pen arrow thing I had visions of arrows sticking out of my toddler... So yes, highly recommend. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freerange Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Thank you (I think!) I'd added it to my wish list before but now you've pushed me to order it. I'm sure they'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 DS10 has been eagerly reading it. He hasn't made anything yet however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 My dd10 found those little blast caps, like snap-pops on a roll, at the store Friday night. I'm afraid to give them to her. Watch out for the pea-shooter, my dd cut her hand with ricocheted peas that cracked open. Safety goggles are important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ooo, safety goggles would definitely be a good idea. I think I have some to fit the 2 yo. I'm more worried about him than dd, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmschooln Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 DS would love that.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just added it to my wish list too. I think dd would love that. :) Shoot, I think I would too! hehe It looks like fun. :) Thanks for the recommendation. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 My dd10 made a safety vest for her sister (large coat with a pillow stuffed in it) and setup a blast shield (pillow barrier) in the hallway to test the weapons. They have a lot of fun firing them after she makes them. It is so nice to see them playing together and picking up plastic BBs, beans, coins, pens, etc from the floor together. :) DD even explains the science of it to her sister thanks to years of watching Myth Busters. I have her keep her completed weapons, her book, safety gear and supplies in a big bin so it can all stay together. She was even pricing wire cutters at Home Depot so she could quit having to borrow mine :) Every girl should have her own pliers and wire cutters.

PeterPan Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Every girl should have her own pliers and wire cutters. Mine does. I drew the line at anything with a blade. Last thing I need is my toddler finding a knife or razor blade because my executive dysfunction dd left it lying around in some weird spot of her room. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2boys030507 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks ladies. I am now checking it out of the library to see what my boys think. My guess is we will be purchasing it before long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathleen in VA Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Woo-hoo! My library has it and I just put it on hold. Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Okay, I have to admit it. I looked it up on Amazon and thought, "My ds would love this, but I would NOT". Then people started posting about getting it at the library. My library had it too, so I put it on hold. I figure he can only do so much damage in 3 weeks, right:001_huh:?

foxbridgeacademy Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 We did the sneak peek on Amazon, then made two of the launchers, it is now in my basket. Both DC can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 That's hilarious! I just picked it up at the library yesterday for my dd and dh :D Angel, if it's for your dh, make sure you find the book by the same author that has cubicle weapons. Add a little fun to the work day. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Angel, if it's for your dh, make sure you find the book by the same author that has cubicle weapons. Add a little fun to the work day. ;) He has no cubicle BUT he does teach our Science lab at co-op ;) Last year they did a lot of chemistry but this year I think he is teaching them to take over the world :lol: They have made blow darts with straws (wondering if this is what your dd did), made their own Nano Hexbugs, and last week was the potato launcher. Dd10 loves to do these kinds of things with her dad. We haven't had the time to open the book up yet but I'm sure we will this weekend.
