What your child learns
- How angle and power change a throw
- Predicting where something will land
- Trying, adjusting and trying again
- Early ideas about gravity and bounce
How to play

Play together
Ask your child to predict where Mithi will land before letting go, then try again with a little more or less pull. It is early physics through play.

Questions grown-ups ask
What does Slingshot Stars teach?
The basics of physics through play: how the angle and strength of a launch change the path, and how bounces and wind affect it.
What if my child can’t finish a level?
Help me aim first gives a tip, then nudges the aim closer, and on the third press sets up a shot that lands, so every level can be finished.
How many levels are there?
Nine, from a first gentle arc to a grand galaxy finale.
Can my child see where Mithi will fly?
Yes. A dotted line shows Mithi’s path before she launches, and the Show flight path switch can turn it off for an extra challenge.
