DIY marshmallow catapult

Those of you who know me personally know I am a sucker for great craft and science experiemnt ideas I can do with the kids. Well, here is yet another I ran accross. This one is for a DIY marshmallow catapult. Most of the items you need to make it can be found in your home, and when completed, it will likely give your kids hours of entertainment. Anything that can entertain kids without costing much is a "need to" project on my list for budget focused families. I have put the supply list below, along with a picture, but you will need to click here to go to Tutus and Tea Parties blog directly for the directions.

What you will need for one catapult:

1 wooden square for base
1 clothespin
1 popsicle stick
1 soda or water bottle cap
tacky glue
paint (optional)
mini marshmallows
