Marshmallow Shooters Craft

I found this idea on Pintrest.  It's been repinned about a million times since then, so I have no idea who to credit this idea to, but I think it's a brilliant idea. It's simple, cheap, and safe (it's hard to hurt someone with a marshmallow).  The teens in my anime club loved it.

Supplies:

• scissors
• duct tape
• styrofoam cups - not terribly environmentally friendly, I know, but plastic cups have sharp edges when you cut them, and I didn't feel like breaking out the bandages.
• balloons
• large bag of mini-marshmallows

Instructions:

1.  Cut the bottom of the cup off.
2.  Tie a knot in the tail of a balloon (don't blow it up!).
3.  Cut off the top inch or so of the balloon.
4.  Stretch the cut end of the balloon taut over the bottom (smaller) end of the cup and secure with duct tape.
5.  Drop marshmallow into cup, aim at the person beside you, pull back the knot in the balloon, and release.  Cheer if you hit someone in the face.
6.  Repeat step 5 until the program is almost over.
7.  Make the teens pick up all the marshmallows on the floor.
