Use your imagination and see what kind of tower your can make.Use the little balls as the anchors or as a base for your tower. Roll your small piece of Play-Doh into a little ball. Open your Play-Doh and pinch off a small piece.I send home the following information with my students. A tower built with toothpicks & Play-Doh. The Students’ challenge is to see what they can build with just these two things. Luckily, I didn’t send home any diapers just Play-Doh and toothpicks. In the story, Iggy Peck built towers out of things he found including stinky diapers. Play-Doh & Toothpicks The STEM kit is ready to go home. When they are finished with the book they will return the book to the library, but they will keep the supplies. I encourage them to take a picture of their finished project and email it to me. For this project, I’m sending home a packet with the students when they check out Iggy Peck Architect. If students are in our Makerspace Lab I let them make towers or bridges with all the supplies I have in our Makerspace such as clothespins, popsicle sticks, cardboard, yarn, toilet paper tubes, masking tape, and hot glue. After hearing the story of Iggy Peck I have my students do a STEM building activity.
