Hats off to the very clever Jennifer Cooper from Ellie Bellie Kids for combining  two brilliant things marshmellows and craft for everyone to enjoy ! Okay, enough from me. Let’s get on with the good stuff!

We give you Marshmallow Building

This is probably more of a math or engineering activity, but its also a brilliant idea for a fun afternoon with the kids or a birthday party.

Parents – all you need is a bag or two of mini marshmallows and toothpicks. Feel free to provide a helpful hint or two about how triangles can be used to reinforce objects (think bridges) and encourage them to try something different if the first structure doesn’t work out (power of perseverance) but generally, just let them take it and run with it.

The kids will be highly entertained. In fact, these kids below built for an hour or more. True story.

Big thanks for the creative minds at Ellie Bellie Kids http://www.classic-play.com/marshmallow-building/. Photos and concepts by ClassicPlay e-magazine for creative kids.
