Cheap bow.
This idea has been around for a while and of.course utube has many examples but I draw attention to the PVC bow.
That's right a bow, as in archery, made from PVC pipe.
I made two from a length of PVC that cost $10.
These were not perfect mainly because I did not use a template.
So if you have kids for little money you can make them a bow... Probably given the price of arrows you may wish to make some arrows as well.
However if you or the kids are thinking about getting into archery I would build one of these before spending hundreds of dollars cause sometimes well you know use it twice and then gathers dust until it rots.
They are not too powerful which is great if you are new to archery but I think if you filled one with builders foam it would be respectable.
And you can make a rather fancy shape with multiple curves even a "cupid" style...which seems to work best.
Remember although somewhat toy like and arrow in the eye will cause discomfort.
