Parents are always looking for easy ways to entertain their children, and creating various objects with toothpicks and marshmallows will do just that. Give your child a set number of toothpicks and marshmallows and give them a time limit to build anything that they want with these materials. If you want to get specific, give them a theme for their creation. Have them create either a monster or animal so that they have further limits to work within. If you have more than one child, you can turn this activity into a contest. See which child can build the tallest structure or which child can make the biggest structure using the least amount of supplies. Have fun with this activity! Allow your child to be creative, and when they are finished let them proudly display their creation in their rooms or on any surface in your home.
