Building with Styrofoam

February 21, 2014 by OneMommy

 

 

We had so much fun with hammers and screwdrivers and creating with Styrofoam, that we had to try some other Styrofoam fun.   I cut some small blocks from the large pieces we had used in our earlier fun.  Then we got out the white school glue and had fun Building with Styrofoam!

To make pieces stick on the sides and at odd angles, we used a few toothpicks.  (I wish I had gotten a picture of the final product before it got knocked down by a very excited running child!)

The kindergartner had a blast building with the Styrofoam blocks for well over a half hour.  She told me she was creating the ruins of an ancient castle.  Love that imagination!
