Materials Needed:
- Mini marshmallows (stale ones work best, but aren't as tasty)
- Spaghetti, toothpicks, wooden dowels, or even chopsticks might work
Step One
Gather your marshmallows and toothpicks (spaghettis are fun, too!). Put one marshmallow on the end of one toothpick. You've got your first building piece!
Step Two
Continue building with marshmallows and toothpicks. Build as many different structures as you want. To start, you might want to pick a simple structure to recreate, like a pyramid or a cube. Then, work up to a bigger pyramid or a skyscraper. Ready for a real challenge? Build your own castle with turrets, a gate, and more!
