Summer Fun Craft: Marshmallow Shooter

This week's craft is a fun little contraption that is really easy and inexpensive to make. You will have hours of fun shooting pom poms or marshmallows in the air!

Supplies Needed:
9 oz plastic cups
12' balloons
pom poms or mini marshmallows
scissors 






Directions:
Step 1: Cut off the bottom third part of your plastic cup. If your cups are thin or flimsy, you can double your cups. Recycled yogurt cups also work well! 


Step 2: Tie a knot at the end of your balloon and cut off about 1/2" from the other end.


Step 3: Now stretch the balloon over the lip of the cup.

Your shooter is ready!

Now you are ready to launch your pom poms or mini marshmallows in the air!



Just put your pom pom or marshmallow inside the cup on the knotted center, then aim the cup away from you, pull back on the outer knot and launch away!

    • Mini pretend salt-and-pepper shakers

    After packing her favorite outfits, she's ready to roll! Her suitcase features easy-rolling wheels, clasp closures, and an extendable handle. A luggage tag allows her to make it personal with a pretty gold-foil sticker. Her two-strap tote bag can carry more travel essentials.


    When adventure calls, she'll be ready! This set includes basic necessities that every traveler needs before embarking for their next exciting destination:
    • A plush travel pillow to support her neck for a nap
    • A mini American Girl magazine
    • A pretend camera with a reversible neckstrap
    • A pretend passport, plane ticket, and train ticket
