Marshmellow Tooth Pick Construction

Tonight I gave the kids a handful of mini marshmellows and a small handful of tooth picks. I then showed them how to make a pyramid. Cody was very inamered with the idea and started sticking his tooth picks into the seperation in our table. Then he added marshmellows and told me they were trees. Ashley ate all her marshmellows and was drumming with the tooth picks :) I let Cody play with my pyramid and he was just exploring it! He took a section off and ate it then rebuilt the section! I was so proud. It's very fun to watch your kids problem solve and discover! 
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR EVERY TODDLER! 
I know what my kids are like and I never left their sides during this. Tooth picks are sharp and mini marshmallows can be choke hazards, so create at your own risk.
