Marshmallow Launcher STEM

Are you looking for an inexpensive holiday gift for your students that they’re sure to love? Why not give them the gift of STEM and a “toy” that they’ll have to engineer in order to play?
My FREE Marshmallow Launcher kit makes the perfect gift for your students and costs a couple of dollars per kid to gather the materials and put together! Not to mention, it’s a gift that they can build and play with over winter break while they’re home with their families.
My free Marshmallow Launcher kit is a STEM challenge and a holiday gift in one: students build their own launcher from PVC pipe pieces using my printable instructions, then take it home to play over winter break.
The PVC pipe materials are found at Lowe’s, Home Depot, or any hardware store.
