Chop Stick Rubber Band Gun!

Last weekend, Yuta was bored and asked if we could make a few rubber band guns from chop sticks and have a battle around the house.  We looked up how to build them and made a few, we are still finding rubber bands all around the house (at least I am).  The activity was a success, which led Yuta to take pictures of his collection of weapons (at that point he had 2 pistols and a rifle/shotgun he had invented) and show them at school.  Yuta's fourth grade teacher was very impressed with the idea and asked if Yuta could bring them in the next day.  Upon seeing the rubber band shooters, the teacher then asked the class to bring in the materials to make one for themselves the very next day.  Yuta led the class and each student made a rubber band pistol.  They then broke into two teams and had a battle!  I am very happy with this teacher, he is so much cooler than I am!  Yuta is now a bit of a hero in the class, the students had quite a bit of fun. . .
