A sweet new way to make some noise
Play it. Share it. Eat it.
A pair of edible percussion sticks made entirely from marshmallows.

our first sketch!01 / OUR PRODUCT
Marshmallow Clapsticks turn a familiar rhythm activity into a playful food experience. Tap the sticks, share the moment, then enjoy the marshmallow.
02 / HOW IT WORKS
The pink stick is compressed more tightly. The blue stick keeps more air inside. Different densities create different sounds.
STICK A · HIGH DENSITY
STICK B · MEDIUM DENSITY
Prepare the soft marshmallow texture.
Build even layers and roll a long cylinder.
Use different pressure for different densities.
Smooth, tap and compare the sound.
03 / OUR STORY
Our idea began with a simple question: what if an instrument could also be shared and eaten?
We were inspired by the simple interaction of Australian clapsticks. We explored a very different material—marshmallows—to connect rhythm, creativity and food.
This is a student product concept. It is inspired by clapsticks, not a replacement for their cultural meaning.
04 / EMOTION & EXPERIENCE
The experience starts with a surprise, grows through play and ends with a sweet shared moment.
“Can marshmallows really make a sound?”
Tap, test and make a simple rhythm together.
Share the experience—and the marshmallows.
05 / OUR MOTIVATION
Motivation is the force that starts, guides and keeps our behaviour going. Our project is shaped by both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
FROM WITHIN
We wanted to create something fun, creative and different. Combining music, food and cultural inspiration let us explore a new idea and enjoy making something by hand.
FROM AROUND US
We wanted a product that could attract schools, cultural organisations and community events. We hoped it would stand out and have practical value.
Some of us were excited by the playful idea, some wanted to solve the design problem, and others focused on making it clear and useful. Together, we turned curiosity into a product story we could share.
