During small group, pair the children and supply the table with mini marshmallows and toothpicks or uncooked spaghetti noodles. Tell the children they will work with a partner to build the tallest tower they can. As the children work, ask them to explain what they are doing and why. Say things like, “You are using really long pieces of spaghetti to connect your marshmallows. How will you keep your tower from tipping over?”
