I love your site. It's full of creative ideas of crafts making... I think it's very important to build the creativity of the child.

Step #9 - Try to fire the marshmallow into your enemy's mouth! What a lovely, fun way to start learning about physics. A great basis for all the theory they will be getting later on, in school. The pencils or sticks and the milk carton could be decorated, as well.
