Harder Than It Looks!

I hosted a co-op today called "Let's Build It." I got the ideas from Pinterest, but needed a co-op to get the energy to do the activities!

First off, the kids built a tower out of toothpicks and marshmallows. This is a lot harder than it seems!

It took awhile, but they figured out that triangles are best- after that, they built a pretty tall structure.

Next, they built boats out of aluminum foil and Popsicle sticks. Then we went to the river to see if they would float.

It was a pretty simple co-op, but a lot of fun. The kids had a great time- and hopefully learned a few engineering skills as well!
