TEACH ME THURSDAY – Marshmallow Guns

I have always thought marshmallow guns were the coolest idea, but never had a reason to make them.  Until I was watching Cammie’s kids and needed something fun for everyone to do!  And, since we are now pros with PVC pipe, it was a piece-o-cake!  I found a great tutorial on Skip to My Lou’s 30 days of crafts.  It’s originally from Make It Do. 

Anyway, the tutorial is perfect, so check it out if you want to make some of these…

IMG_5109 Steve tool a little while to figure it out…his marshmallows got a little wet and sticky!
IMG_5111 Ali loved it too!
IMG_5114 Briggs and Jer had competitions to see who could shoot the farthest…can you see the marshmallow in flight?  I’m pretty sure Briggs won this one!

We even made a target to practice aim…I just forgot to take a picture!  We had so much fun, and the grass was covered with marshmallows!  Luckily it rained that night and melted them all away!
