...on purpose I think, making her go ouch. So although no serious damage can be done best to encourage your children to fire at the plastic knights and not at little sister. . To make the canon work aim and fire by pushing a button. This cannon and the knights certainly gives a lot of fun adding that extra dimension to the castle or pirate play. Your child imagination can be let loose playing with this toy. Attacking or defending the castle or taking the troops out on a crusade. Finding the dragon and knocking him over with the cannon ball.
