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'll need:
  • 1/2" PVC Pipe (I like to by the 2' sections at my local home improvement store)
  • 1 - 1/2" T
  • 2 - 1/2" Elbows
  • PVC Cutters
  • Duck Tape
Cut PVC into 2 2" pieces, 1 3" piece, 1 4" pieces, and one piece that is 5'-10" long. Follow the pattern in the video to place pieces together. Pieces do not need to be glued, just pushed together tightly. Wrap the blaster in Duck Tape or add stickers to customize it.

Once finished, add a mini marshmallow to the end and blow really hard! This project is lots of fun!
