These Marshmallow Flickers are perfect for settling any argument with dignity!
The first person to successfully catch a marshmallow in their mouth is the winner.
To make, you'll need a large sweet tube, a lolly stick and three clothes pegs.
Stick the three pegs together, with PVA glue.
Use a bit more PVA glue to stick the pegs on top of a large lolly stick.

Make sure that the gripping edge of bottom peg is slightly sticking out at the end of the lolly stick.
To make the handle, take the lid off the sweet tube - but don't throw it away - and cut a couple of slits in the top of the tube.

The aim is to make a flap that's wide enough for the pegs to fit into.
Put some glue on the flap...
...and secure the pegs in place.

Leave them to dry.
Pick your battle colours, and paint the sweet tube.

Be careful to not go too near to the pegs as they might get stuck together with paint and not flick properly.
The marshmallow holder is actually the sweet tube lid. Just stick it onto the lolly stick.

Leave a gap at the end for flicking.
Have a go at making a Marshmallow Flicker - a game that's great to taste and to play!
