How to String Marshmallows for a Halloween Game

Marshmallows aren't just for toasting.

The chilly autumn months may find you longing for a night spent staying warm by the bonfire roasting marshmallows. Toasting marshmallows over a fire isn't the only way you can enjoy the white puffy treats during the fall months. String marshmallows on thread for an entertaining game to play at your Halloween party.

Things You'll Need

• Ruler
• Thread
• Scissors
• Large needle at least 2 inches long
• Marshmallows

Instructions

1. Measure and cut a 32-inch long piece of thread for each person who will be playing the game.

2. Pull one end of the thread through the eye of the needle.

3. Push the needle through the center of one of the marshmallows until the tip of the needle comes out the other side of the marshmallow.

4. Pull the tip of the needle through the center of the marshmallow. String nine more marshmallows on the string. Repeat with the rest of the strings.

5. Adjust the position of the marshmallows on the string so they are 2 inches apart, and the end marshmallows are 2 inches in from the ends of the string.

Tips & Warnings

• Have someone hold the string of marshmallows up by the ends while the player works to get the marshmallows off the string using only her mouth. All the players can go at the same time if you have enough people to hold the strings of marshmallows, or players can take turns and be timed.
