Building Cathedrals
We’ve had our Kindergarten kid home from school for the past couple of days, dealing with fever and cold-like symptoms, so I’ve been trying to come up with fun activities for him to do while our little one is napping. This activity with marshmallows and toothpicks is simple, educational, fun, and EDIBLE (well, at least the marshmallow part).
Supplies: About 20 marshmallows and a handful of toothpicks
Procedure: Have your child build a square base with 4 toothpicks and 4 marshmallows, and then let them build upwards and/or outwards from there
Objective: To learn about 3-D structures, be creative, and use trial and error to see which structures hold firm and which bend and break easily.
Enjoy!
