STRAW SCULPTURE

(for ages 3+)

Ingredients:

  • Bendy straws
  • Tape
  • Scissors

Prep Time:

  • 5 minutes

Recipe for Fun!

Straws are for more than sipping your favorite beverage. They can keep kids engaged for hours! Just cut the long end of each bendy straw about an inch from the bottom so they easily connect. Now have the kids connect the long part of one straw with the short part of another. Consider having the kids build a series of triangles that they can then tape together to make a large sculpture, like a geodesic dome (a structure that looks like half spheres made up of many triangle supports).
