Using the neck of a used plastic bottle and a balloon you can make a terrific shooter! With this shooter you can chuck a paper ball over a distance of around 20-meters. Place the paper ball or marble in the bottle neck, then hold the ball and pull the balloon and let go! The ball will really travel far!
To make the Ball Shooter you need an old plastic bottle, balloon, paper balls and scissors. First cut the bottle just below its neck. Trim the neck smoothly such that there is no sharp edges remain.  Otherwise the sharp edges can tear the balloon. Now stretch the mouth of a balloon and place the threaded part of the bottle neck in it. The threads will ensure that the balloon does not slip out. The toy is ready. Place a paper ball (soft ball) inside the bottle mouth. Then go out doors to try out your shooter. All you need to do is to the hold the ball and pull out the balloon and then LET GO! The paper ball will fall 20-meters away!  CAUTION: NEVER AIM THE BALL AT ANY LIVING BEING.
