Craft Corner: Marshmallow Blaster

☀️ Cool Craft for Summer Fun

By Megan Barnes June 28, 2016


Summer is here! Are you ready? Join Macaroni Kid in this fun video series with easy crafts to help you and your kids beat the summer boredom blues.

This week, we are making a Marshmallow Blaster. This craft is a lot of fun and very easy to do! Kids can get really creative with their tape and stickers, not to mention have a "blast" playing with it when it's finished!

What You Need:

  • PVC Pipe (I like to buy the 2-foot sections at my local home improvement store)
  • 1 half-inch T
  • 2 half-inch elbows
  • PVC cutter
  • Duct tape

What You Do:

  1. Cut PVC into two 2-inch pieces, one 3-inch piece, one 4-inch piece, and one piece that is five to ten inches long.
  2. Follow the pattern in the video to place pieces together. Pieces do not need to be glued, just pushed together tightly.
  3. Wrap the blaster in patterned duct tape or add stickers to customize it.
  4. Once finished, add a mini marshmallow to the end and blow really hard!
