Using toothpicks, and styrofoam pieces, your little architect constructed their very own structures!

Playing with a variety of building materials is critical for the development of spatial thinking, or envisioning where different items go in relation to each other as they build.


Deciding how to structure the pieces, connect them together, and configuring whether they are aligned or perpendicular to one another, are just the kinds of skills that support later learning in science, technology, engineering and math.
