This is by no means a new ideas, but it is still well-loved among my children!

It is inexpensive, builds fine-motor skills, lets the creative juices flow and is yummy!

So grab a bag of mini-marshmallows ($1) and a box of toothpicks ($1), and let your kids go to town building, creating and snacking!

Remember to join in the fun and build something too!  Your kids will love the interaction and you might find an inner architect is hiding somewhere in there 🙂
