Want a great rainy day activity that is good for a wide range of ages and abilities?
Try building bridges and other structures with toothpicks and marshmallows!
The only supplies needed are toothpicks, a variety of marshmallows, and of course an imagination.
This was an easy set-up as well as clean-up – my kind of activity!
*Quick Tip* – open the bags of marshmallows the day before you are going to use them to let them dry out a bit and get stale. They are much less sticky to work with.
Great fine motor skills work too.
The older boys were more elaborate with their designs

I didn’t know that “quick tip”. I’ll need to remember it next time. And thanks for the links that go along…didn’t realize it would have so many!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing:) Hope you are having a blessed summer!
Fun! I’m wondering if my boys would eat all of their materials. 😉
