My kids grandparents went to a Fall Festival last weekend and came back with two marshmallow shooter kits for the boys. The marshmallow shooters were very easy to put together and all the supplies can be bought at a small hardware store. For one shooter you will need a total of 31 inches of 1/2 inch PVC pipe, two 1/2 inch PVC elbows, two 1/2 inch PVC tees, two nickels (yes as in money), and one 1/2 inch PVC coupling. You will need to cut the 31 inch PVC pipe into six 4 inch long pieces and one 7 inch long piece. After that I have attached a diagram showing you how the pieces fit together. Nickels are used to block off passages to give the shooter more air power.The mini marshmallows fit into the shooters perfectly without getting stuck. Also do not glue the pieces together, you will need to be able to take the shooter apart to clean it. My boys had tons of fun with this project, and since it was chilly outside, I let them play with it inside (luckily we have tile floors, I would imagine the marshmallows would stick to carpet) and they did not want to stop.
