      Sweet Sculptures

      Materials:

      Toothpicks

      Gumdrops, grapes, or mini marshmallows

      What can your family build with toothpicks and something soft and small? Towering skyscrapers, molecular models, or structures that would make an architect’s head explode? Once you’ve gotten the hang of building with these items, try challenges like limiting the number of toothpicks and fasteners, or building the tallest tower. Cleanup is easy: just disassemble and eat!

      Supersized Self-Portraits

      Materials:

      Large roll of paper (like butcher or kraft) or large sheets of paper taped together

      Pencil

      Markers, paint, or crayons

      Have each family member lie down on their back on a sheet of paper that’s at least as long as they are, and trace around their body with a pencil. Add details (clothing, hair, and facial features) with markers, paint, or crayons. Find a spot in your home where your family’s self-portraits can hang together. (And when you find a youngster’s portrait several years later, you’ll wonder, Were they ever so small?)

      Tower of Paper

      Who can build the tallest freestanding tower from nothing but paper? Get creative by trying out different structural techniques. Will you stack the paper? Create a house of cards? Create a pile of crumpled-up paper balls? Then see whose creation can
