At our Classical Conversations classes this last Monday, the student presentation assignment was to demonstrate how to do or make something. Jono decided he wanted to make a marshmallow shooter. Zach had made one with a friend and Jono has been pining over wanting one for a long time.
So, YouTube to the rescue. I found this video link - super easy and cheap!
Here are the basics supplies I bought and it made three guns:
1/2" PVC Pipe - it comes in 10ft sections
Elbow joints - no threading, 1/2 diameter, 2 per gun
T-joints - no threading, 1/2" diameter, 2 per gun
End caps - no threading, 1/2" diameter, 2 per gun
All my PVC and fittings cost $6.72 or $2.24 per gun - Oh yeah, cheap fun!
Mini marshmallows
Cut the PVC into:
4 - 3" segments
2 - 5" segments
1 - 7" segments
I used a miter box to cut the PVC and then a box knife to clean out the middle and a little sandpaper to file the ends smooth.
Arrange all your piece like so:
Have fun!!!
