After last week's FHE in a teepee, we just couldn't pass up buying these bow & arrows at the Lewisburg Arts Festival yesterday. They were by far the crowd favorite, and I'm pretty sure the seller made a killing with them. But you could make some yourself and have a fun lesson about what Nephi did in the Book of Mormon when he broke his bow (he made a new one, of course!). Here are some instructions that I found online. These bows are made out of 1/2 inch pvc pipe and nylon string. The arrows are made using multiple layers of foam padding tied around a bit of wooden rod with a notch at the end where the arrow and string meet.
looks like fun, my hubby is an archer. So he has the real stuff.

You know, you could just change your name to Wonder Woman and be done with it. ;D
ReplyDeletehaha...now that's my kind of FHE! The kites, by the way, were such a hit. We had 10 little girlies running all over the yard trying to not get tangled and a having a blast. Now it only seems fair to try out the bow and arrows...
