Marshmallow Guns
Flicker Photo Set
After church yesterday, I bought a bunch of pvc pipes and connectors, and we got to making ourselves some marshmallow guns. We all had a blast customizing the shape and size of our guns. The kids decorated theirs with painter’s tape. It was a great cheap way to have some fun, and it’s not a big deal to loose a few marshmallows, because they’ll just melt over time. My next step is to find some pipe with a bit smaller inner diameter for increased efficiency. We found that mashing two or three small marshmallows together created a significantly more powerful shot. We were all covered with white nickel sized spots by the time we finished.

Oh yeah, let the marshmallow wars begin!
Where in the world did you come up with the idea of marshmellow guns? :) Back in our days, we used ball point pens for spit-wads! I guess marshmellows are a bit more sanitary.
last week Emmanuel showed me some marshmallow guns on sale at REI. I looked around the net and saw instructions to make your own gun, then found some videos on youtube. :)
[...] few months ago, we discovered the fun of Marshmallow Guns, but we could only play it occasionally as they were messy so had to be played outdoors [...]
