Marshmallow Shooters

The first time I saw a marshmallow shooter was at an arts and crafts fair about 8 years ago. It was made of PVC pipe and allowed the user to "shoot" marshmallows out by blowing into the hole at the top. We found new fangled marshmallow shooters at Toy Fair this year and ordered them up. As hard as you might try to keep boys from guns, it's in their DNA and they will find a way. At about 3 years old, a friend's son, who was never allowed to play with guns, bit a chicken nugget into the shape of a gun and began "firing" at the playland. Boys will find a way. That being said, why not let them shoot something harmless like marshmallows? The new generation doesn't require blowing and comes in cool choices like camo and blaster. Check them out here:
