Jellybean Engineers

It’s almost Easter and I bet you have a few jellybeans around the house. Here is a fun activity that will keep your child busy and engage his or her mind too!

Gather some of those delicious jellybeans and some toothpicks. Start by putting a jellybean on each end of a toothpick. From there, insert another toothpick into one of the jellybeans. Continue adding jellybeans and toothpicks to create shapes, buildings, creatures, etc.

Don’t have jellybeans? This activity can be done using marshmallows or play dough. This “sweet” activity is fun for the whole family!
