Method:

1. Cut the bottom off the cup with the scissors.
2. Tie a knot at the neck of the balloon and snip off the tip.
3. Stretch the balloon over the top of the cup. You may find this a bit tricky to start with, but after making a few it becomes easy.
4. Pop your marshmallow into the cup.
5. Fire the missile by pulling the knotted neck of the balloon and letting go. You will be surprised at how far it can travel2
6. The open end will fold together when you stretch the balloon, but this will not stop the missile from firing.
