MARSHMALLOW SHOOTERS

MARSHMALLOW SHOOTERS

This marshmallow shooter DIY is a childhood must do! It’s a simple kids activity that doubles as a science project and is so much fun you will end up playing with it even after the kids are asleep. True story. ;)

This version of the marshmallow shooter is made with a cake pop container so the next time you have one at a party make sure to save it–you can turn it into hours of fun for your kiddos!

How to Make Marshmallow Shooters

  • cake pop container
  • balloon
  • scissors
  • mini marshmallows
  • rubber bands (optional)
Take an un-inflated balloon and tie a knot in the end. Then cut the bottom half (rounded part) of the balloon off. Stick the open end of the balloon on the bottom end of the cake pop container and you are ready to play!

If you have energetic shooters (like I do!) you may want to use a rubber band to reinforce the balloon. It will help it stay on no matter how hard they pull.

 

Experiment with your kids to see how changing the amount of marshmallows or force used changes the outcome. It’s a great way to get kids thinking critically and having fun!

HOW TO MAKE A SPONGE BALL

Oct 31, 2019 Posted by: Jemelee Arcibal bored kids,  busy kids,  crafts,  diy activities,  kids,  kids activities,  kids craft,  kids party

If you have any plans or desire to have some fun water games going on at your house this summer, then these simple sponge balls are a must.

Sponge balls are so much better. Some people call them “sponge bombs”, but whatever you want to call them, they’re perfect for summer water games. They’re easy to make. They stay in one piece and can hold a lot of water. And, you can reuse them throughout the summer. Just dry them out and store them with your pool toys.

 

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • 4 basic kitchen sponges (I buy mine at Dollar Tree)
  • scissors
  • a strong rubber band (or strong string)


STEP 1
Cut all of the sponges 4 even strips, length-wise

STEP 2
Bundle the sponge strips from all 4 sponges and wrap a rubber band around them in the center.

STEP 3
Fluff out the strips and arrange them so that they are nice and poofy!

And that’s it!!

Except now that you know how to make a sponge ball you should go ahead and make about a half a dozen more because your kids are going to be OBSESSED with the these.

Candy Corn Cobs

Oct 30, 2019 Posted by: Jemelee Arcibal easy recipe,  easy recipes,  new moms,  recipe,  snack ideas,  snack time,  snacks

No, that's not corn on the cob. Yes, that's actually candy corn. This crazy treat is made of edible sugar cookie dough so that anyone crazy enough can take bit right into the center. Candy corn fanatics will absolutely love it. Corn on the cob lovers might just hate it. Either way, these candy corn cobs are so adorable and will cause everyone to do a double take!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 c. almond flour
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 (20-oz.) bags candy corn

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar together, then add vanilla. Add almond flour and salt and beat until combined. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. On plastic wrap, form each piece into a log. Refrigerate until solid, 2 hours.

When cookie dough is well chilled, push candy corn into cookie dough in rows. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour.

Are you fan of candy corn? :)
