Project Inspired By:

Childhood memories, and recently making these with my kids. I had a lot of fun with these as a kid, and I wanted to make a video tutorial with loads of different shapes and sizes you may not have seen before.

Project History & More Info:

There isn't anything dangerous, epic or mind-blowing in this project, and it's geared mainly for ages 8 and under, which none of you are, but this still took a lot of work to make, and I produced it because my 3 small boys and I had fun making these throwing stars, and I wanted to make a formal tutorial for other parents who might be looking for a crafty activity to do with their family.

I remember learning how to make some popsicle stick bombs in my early years, but can't exactly remember where or how. Probably some random kid showed me at school, but I never forgot how to make them.

At the time, it seemed really cool to be able to create a "throwing star" that would explode when it hit the wall, and now that my kids are a little bit older but still young enough to enjoy popsicle sticks), I thought this might be a great project to try with them.

I got a couple of bags of craft sticks and scoured the internet for different kinds of throwing stars or stick bombs that we could make. We ended up making 8 different kinds of stick bombs, which you'll see how to make in a future video.

I've had hundreds of messages and comments asking for easy projects with simple materials, and this is about as simple as I can make it, however, I expect most of my viewers won't like it because it's a project geared toward a really young audience.

But if you're a dad, your kids are going to love it .. so go have some daddy time, and make a bunch of exploding stick bombs!

Hey guys! I produced this video because my 3 small boys and I had fun making these throwing stars, and I wanted to make a formal tutorial so other parents could do it with their families. Unfortunately, I'm expecting most of you will dis-like it, and kick-back in the comments. But if you've got young kids, they're going to love it .. so go have some family time, and make a bunch of exploding stick bombs!

Edit: I just remembered this is the first video from TKOR that I watched...

Thanks for this! I'm a teacher. One of my students has trouble regulating his feelings. I knew about two of these builds and made them myself and got him to figure out how to make them by looking at mine. It really chilled him out so I'm going to show him some more of these. Much appreciated!

I made these in class, memories rip a true legend

[DigitalKurono]

I used to make these in class, and I was able to sell them for 10c each! XD

[PixieStixPrince]

does the hard surface to throw them at include people's faces?

Years ago

And in memory.

I started watching your channel because I wanted to do fun stuff with my son's. We have done a bunch of your projects, even the forge. These quick simple fun projects not only help build dexterity with their hands but also make them think how or why things happen. You won't get any complaints from this guy.

Who else misses this Grant? 😔 I miss the life hacks and easy projects that everyone could do. Now it is a new guy with a completely different personality and he is doing stuff we could only imagine of. Sad...

[kylersmith]

Thanks Grant, my little sisters loved this build! They had a blast!

[cyalumeaijou]

My class made these and made the classroom a warzone 😂😂😂 In the end, the popsicles were everywhere

Man, I wish my childhood was this fun. But I didn't have anyone to play with, so yeah.

Am I suppose to eat the ice cream before or after making the bombs?
