    This looks so cute. I may make one for my 16 yo paintball nut, as a joke gift.

    That looks really easy. I might make a couple for my DS, they are pretty well grown (18 and 21) but they would enjoy that.

    I know my teenagers would love this! Maybe I'll make a couple for their Christmas stockings. Thanks for the link.

    I think I'll make this for me. lol Never know when Gabe could use a marshmallow as a little added incentive to get going.

    In a minute? I think not! Move it! Move it!

    Marshmallow Blowguns
    Cut 1/2" diameter PVC pipe into 8" lengths. You can use a saw or purchase a cutter tool made especially to cut PVC pipe. Make sure both ends are smooth. You may want to sand them to be sure. Wash them in warm soapy water and dry them. Have each person write his/her name on the pipe with a marker, and optionally, decorate it. Set up a target (hang a large bulls-eye paper target, place boxes/cans on the ground to catch the used marshmallows) and let the boys blow mini marshmallows at the target.

    Thanks for the idea Denise, and for the instructions Lori. I'd love to have one of these to lighten the mood around here
