Awesome book! I can see doing these projects with the kids. If you loved Junk Drawer Engineering, you'll enjoy this one! Great projects well explained.

Fun and creative ideas with simple as a little more extensive supplies. My guys were eager to make many of these creations some they were surprised about and some I thought really did need some parent supervision. A favorite it the bow and arrow. The photos and instructions are great -- it really does make it easy to make this creative items.

Fun for Parents and Kids alike. Some have the potential to cause inury or damage though so supervision is a must. That said, there are lots of cool gadgets to make and fire here. Lots of projects for parents and kids to make together on a rainy day and to test out when the sun is shining.

Launchers, lobbers and rockets engineer provide 20 amazing projects to try at home. As an crafts person and aspiring engineer I found these projects really nice and handson. The projects range easy to more complex, rewarding us with a fun contraption in the end. The graphics are easy to follow and I found this a great read.

Would totally recommend to kids who are itching to make their own rockets

I reviewed this copy with the thought that it would provide inspiration to a teenage engineer. With clear pictures and descriptions my daughter was impressed with the selection of items that could be made from simple household parts. Broken down into three sections, from simple concepts to a more extravagant project designs. This book has proved a definite hit with her and her college friends. (all are 16+ and most are studying engineering)

“Launchers, Lobbers, and Rockets Engineer” is a fun guide for using household items to create shooters, lobbers and launchers for backyard warfare. Rubber bands, soda bottles and your junk drawer treasures
can serve as launchers for shooting off tennis balls, sponges, poker chips and much more. Highly recommended for safe family fun.

Grateful to the Quarto Publishing Group - Rockport Publishing and NetGalley for the early copy, in exchange for my true review.

I was sceptical opening this book. I'm a mother of two, I should not get excited about straw blowguns and rubber band rockets. But I did! I want to build them all, with and without my children.

Pictured instructions guide you through the construction process of some seemingly difficult projects made from simple materials that can be bought at any DIY store.

A book I will certainly come back to play with for a long time.
