Guess How Many and Everything Else

We love Guess How Many Jars! This time around we got inspired by a misunderstanding with a patron and decided to fill one of our cubes with marshmallows. It turns out the whole process was a lot more complicated than we thought it would be. 

First we realized we would need to modge podge the marshmallows because... ants...

So we developed a process. Newspaper, modge podge, turn up the air filter. Throw the marshmallows into the cube. Count as we go.

Make a note of the latest number.

Then we realized how long it was going to take. 

And how many bags of marshmallows. (We lost count at our third trip to the store cleaning them out every time.)

And how many cans of modge podge. (5 & 1/2)

We also learned that every bag of marshmallows has a different number of marshmallows inside. 

We also learned we had been misspelling marshmallow for a very long time. (There is no "e" even though we pronounce it like there is.)

We also learned that it is very hard to flip over a display cube of marshmallows without spilling. We also learned it is very, very funny when you spill marshmallows everywhere in your breakroom.

We had a few mistaken ideas.

One was that we would put artificial snow in the middle. We thought that would make it easier for us to fill the cube. It didn't. We took it out. 

We thought we would fill the entire cube. We didn't.

We thought we would put it out in August. We didn't. We rolled it out onto the floor today, September 3!

So please enjoy. We had a great time putting this together for you! Guess how many ???? Open to all ages.
