Toothpicks & Dots

We have gotten a LOT of snow this past month.  And with a 5 month old baby we just don't go out that much.  When I saw this activity on Pinterest, I thought it looked perfect for my little crew.  It was cheap and we could stay home to do it.  It was a win-win for me. :)
 
Here is what you need:  Toothpicks & Dots
 
Does it get any easier?  I wasn't sure how many boxes of Dots I would need so, I got 3, one for each child.  Though I ended up just pouring them all in a bowl.
 
Then you just let your imagination and creativity go!
 
My children are 5, 3, and 2.  They all enjoyed it.  I was a little worried about my 2 year old, but I just helped her and more then anything she just liked being at the table with everyone.  She would stick dots just on the end of the toothpick and then eat it.  She really enjoyed it.
 

We built different shapes. 
 

We made really long snakes.
 


And we had more then enough dots and toothpicks to last us a while.
 

 
Even when we were done, my 5 and 3 year old kept coming back to play.  They really had a fun time!
