Make It, Give It or Sell It – Marshmallow Shooters

 

Marshmallow Shooters 

 
Gray Electrical 1/2" PVC
Cut with a hack saw:
ONE   6"
ONE 10"
 TWO 2 1/2"
ONE 3"
TWO 3 1/2"
 
 
 Join with:
TWO caps
    TWO elbows
TWO Ts 
Do not gule them, they just slide together.
 
 
Spay with spray paint, let dry.
Be sure to paint the ones for girls in pretty pinks or yellows! ;o)
 
 
 Use mini-marshmallows as ammo!
 
Hours of FUN!
 
We have sold these for $6.
 
You can get scrap pieces of the gray pvc for free from electrical contractors if you know any.
It's cheaper to buy the elbows in a package of 10.

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17

    A quick question, I noticed that the green and black guns in the picture have a different end (where the marshmallow goes) than the silver gun in the picture below. Could you tell me what that is?

    With sincere thanks,
    Hope

      The gray and green one are just a different type of pipe, I’m not sure what it is called, but it is all one piece.

      Hope this helps.

    Hope; the ends are different because one end is meant to slide into the bigger end when connecting these pvc pipes. You can always cut of the large part, if you want. I’m going to make these up for a couple of “Grown” Boys.
