Be a Hero to the Grandkids

Got a project that you are working on that is not a tractor? Maybe a barn to hold your tractors or just fun stuff like woodworking, glass, tools, sheds, gardens, custom implements, etc., this is the place to talk about it.

Be a Hero to the Grandkids

Postby Bill Hudson » Sat Nov 19, 2011 2:07 pm

If you are looking for something that is easy to build, cheap, and will make you a hero to the Grandkids --- try making a marshmallow shooter. Made a couple this morning and they were a hit. Take a look.

Very Cool! I bet Grandpa had as much fun as the kids. Did you make yourself one? :D
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Biggest hit of the holiday Bill, even Graycub said I should have waited and given to him for Christmas.
Mom was okay with it although after firing the same round a couple times they start sticking to the walls, cat and mom. :lol:
When he gets home from school tomorrow I'm sure it'll be the first thing he picks up.
Thanks ! :wink: :D
2 guns with ammo a little less than $10 with enough stick pipe left over for a couple more.

In my mind I see marshmallows under the couch, under tables, etc.

We built them together without him knowing what it was until I fired the first shot. His eyes bugged out he was so excited and he kept coming back all evening thanking me over and over....
Simple things sometimes bring a lot of Joy. :roll: :lol:

We made some a few years back and the kids and grandkids had a ball with them, or should I say marshmallow.

my grandpa made me a potato/walnut/tennis ball shooter when I was 12..... oh the joys of aqua net and lantern filament. Not to mention the looks on mom's face fussing at her own dad! :)
