Marshmallow Madness

Building is what we do best! We love us some good building blocks, tinker toys, duplo blocks, and now introducing our new building medium: Marshmallows and toothpicks. An oldie but goodie.

Mom and M built this arch together. M liked sticking an extra toothpick in the side and would add marshmallows to the end of it. Her idea of an automatic marshmallow dispenser :)

And C, well, she REALLY liked this project. She LOVES eating marshmallows with a passion.

This is her lifting up the weight and exclaiming the letter "G" sound. Just like in the Leap Frog Letter Factory video. Cute weight sweet pea!

And M's rendition of roasting marshmallows over a campfire. Seriously cute stuff!

Better blow the fire out, it's hot!

Tinker Toy Building

When my oldest struggles falling asleep for naps she has quiet time in her room playing. Most of the time she wants building blocks or tinker toys to play with. I love seeing what she creates.

This particular day she asked me to take pictures of what she created and she posed for the pictures. Melts my heart to see her so excited about her creations. And I am blown away at what she creates on her own. She is such a creative little girl. And what an amazing imagination she has! I love you sweetie pie.

Marshmallow Bridge

We had just watched an episode of Curious George where he uses toothpicks, marshmallows and playing cards to create a bridge for some wandering chicks to make it across the river to their mother.

So we decided to do the same. C had fun poking lots of toothpick into the marshmallows

And M had fun making a snake and a little raft for her piggy.
And they both loved eating them:)
