My youngest was enthralled with her creations. He loved it. And he wanted to try it! It's a great fine motor activity!
You'll need: gumdrops (or Dots candy), toothpicks, and a hard surface (like the table)
Start by helping the build the base. Littles love to build but it can take a while for them to figure out that the base needs to be wide enough/strong enough to support what is going on top. So, to avoid frustration, instead use this as a teachable moment. Test it with them. Let it fall...and LAUGH about it. Failure is learning too!
Then build. Ask them to create a story about what they are building. Get out little figurines and play in the creation! Build, take it down, and build again! Save a few for munching!
