My son pulled this slip from the WSID jar and looked at me like?? What?? Really?? Hmm. So I gave him half a bag of marshmallows and I had two boxes of toothpicks so I gave him one. We both weren't sure how it was gonna go. He sat at the table holding toothpick in one hand and marshmallow in the other. He stared off in space for a bit then I heard a giggle and the creation began. I kept coming out to check and this is what morphed into a sculpture that hasn't been titled. I took a picture this morning and threw it away because no marshmallows and ants needed. But the hour of time taking two items you would never imagine and sticking them together and figuring out how to configure them was perfect. I look at it and I see DNA so I wonder if the scientists of the world ever played with marshmallows and toothpicks. Hmmm makes you think... I believe Creativity breeds ingenuity! Oh and happy smiles! Have a wonderfully creative day! Enjoy! Chris

Good Job D! New Years Party we went to they asked us to build something out of Spaghetti noodles (not cooked) and Mini Marshmallows. Odd but fun. :cool:

That is a funny idea. I love to have kid activities so will remember that one. :)

Super cute, Makes me want some smores.

the easy way to make them, foil on a cookie sheet, crackers down first, chocolate then marshmallow, bake in oven take out and put the top on, Yep a whole bunch at one time and no mess, just the way I like it, lol

What a fun and unique project for a kid. Really makes him use his imagination. Great idea!

Way to funny Chris. I cannot say I ever played with marshmallows like this, your son has a great imagination.

Great project--and I can hear you with the ants--aren't they a pain? And Sharon, you are making me sooo hungry for s'mores--I have even found gluten free graham crackers, dang if they aren't $5 a box! And they aren't very big pieces, they come in pieces that is just one section, like 1/4 of the whole cracker, haven't tried them for s'mores yet--but they are a great snack with PB!

Chris you should think about the book "365 arts and crafts activities". I'm sure you can get it dirt cheap on Amazon. Also "The ultimate book of kid concoctions". Great activites to beat the summer boredom's.

OMG! My son loves marshmallows, would love to see what he comes up with. We just bought the chocolate ones at Wal-mart on wed. I don't care to much for them.

Your son created a great masterpiece!
