My Kindergarteners and First Graders participated in a Storytime STEM activity this week. We read the book The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Sciezka. Then, we created houses out of toothpicks and gumdrops. Their house had to be sturdy enough to withstand our "big-bad wolf," which was actually a hair blow dryer with a wolf mask on it. If their structure fell down, they had to find a way to make it stronger and more sturdy. Here are some pictures from our fun experiment! The kiddos loved this project and when their structure did not fall down they worked together to make a taller building.
