I will start with the warning. The noise the balloon makes when you pop it to shoot the marshmallows is loud. This is definitely not something you want to give your 2-year-old right after you put the baby to sleep. Learn from my mistake, mothers. Do not do this.<\/p>\n
Other than that, these things were a complete and total blast. We actually ended up shooting pompoms at each other because my son feels that using marshmallows for anything other than eating is a waste of time. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They’re really easy to make, too. A coat of paint, a little decoration, a balloon, and there you go. We stuck with an Easter theme, but these are versatile enough that you could make any animal your decorating skills permit. <\/p>\n
I also made you an egg-shaped target<\/a> to shoot at if you want to. This could make a fun party game, if you wanted to use it that way.<\/p>\n Start by painting the toilet paper tubes. We did white and yellow to make one chick and one sheep. Next, tie a knot in the end of a balloon. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cut the balloon off about 2\/3 of the way down. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When the paint is dry, draw faces on the tubes. I used a black and orange Sharpie to make the chick face. For the sheep, I tried adding wiggle eyes. This worked pretty well, so you can do that if you want to. <\/p>\n The last step is to stretch the balloon over the top of the tube to make a sort of party hat for your Easter friends. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n To shoot the marshmallows (or pompoms), just place them in the tube, pull the balloon back and let go! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Easter Finger Puppets<\/a><\/p>\nMarshamallow Shooters, Step-by-Step<\/h2>\n
