Paper Football 2.0

Toy Description
- This toy is a variation of the football used for traditional paper football
- The football has cardboard football shapes on the outside and a spring in the middle
- The child uses the football on the side for regular play
- For field goals, your finger presses the spring, and you release it by moving your finger back causing the football to fly
- This football is based on Hooke's law for springs, and projectile motion
- This toy is fairly small and hard to use, so it is recommended for ages 6+
- Construction will be done by making a spring out of hardened sheet spring steel and attaching cardboard football shapes
- Construction should be very cheap, and if made properly, the spring should not wear out for a long time
