The Three Little Pigs House Challenge

We ended our study of Folk Tales with a Three Little Pigs House Challenge. Their directions were to build a house for one of the 3 little pigs using toothpicks, and toothpicks only. The house needed to support weight, and we used snap cubes as our weight. This challenge was way more difficult for them than I thought...







 Some tried sticking the toothpicks into the carpet.







 Some thought about trying to build a teepee... I guess the project in the fall inspired their buildings...
 Avery was the first to attempt the lincoln log type building.



 Here is Avery and Sadie's Little Pigs House...with 9 cubes!


 They were so proud!
 Of course I had to give it a go...

THANK YOU for sending in the toothpicks, we will be reusing them next week with our shark challenges!
