By a virtual show of hands, who here *loves* marshmallows?!? If you could see through the screen, you would NOT see my hand raised. Nope. Not here. I am an absolute sugar fiend, but I just don’t like marshmallows…well…I don’t like eating them, at least. We happened to have a bag of them in the house and I finally decided to use them for good- educational and fun 😉 Turns out there’s a lot of ways to use marshmallows for crafts and activities!
