Need to keep the troops busy a bit longer before school starts? Have them design their own three dimensional buildings and designs using only mini marshmallow and toothpicks. My boys were entertained for over two hours seeing how many different designs they could come up with. I was amazed at their building skills and their creativity. Here are just a couple of the structures they came up with.
The best part is that they are developing their spatial awareness without even realizing it! You might discover you have some future architects.

Presented the topic “What does an Architect do” to a class of 5 year olds today, here in Munich,Germany.
Sourced your picture as a possible craft project for them to do, which I also posted on http://www.chicksndudes.de
thank you for the inspiration!
I have been using this project for years with my preschool and after school kids. I have found it works much better if you spread the marshmallows out on a tray overnight. They firm up and are sturdier enabling the kids to build taller and more complex structures.
Am 17. und 18. März 2016 findet der kommende Kongress Armut und Gesundheit statt, wiederum an der Technischen Universität
Berlin.
Für gesunde Menschen stellt dies bereits eine unzulässige Belastung dar,
für Allergiker kann dies schon eine echte Bedrohung sein.
Great idea! I’m going to try this with my son! I’m always looking for ways to keep him busy.
Hours of fun right here!
