STEAM Challenge Friday – Polar Bear Home

It’s all about engineering in today’s STEAM challenge! Are you ready to build a Polar Bear Home? Grab some marshmallows and toothpicks for this activity. Challenge your child to create a home for a polar bear using a few simple materials. You will be amazed by what they can come up with.

Today’s STEAM Challenge requires minimal materials and a ton of fun.

Materials:
-Marshmallows
-Toothpicks

If you don’t have toothpicks, consider using q-tips with the ends cut off, straws, or even pipe cleaners. If you do not have marshmallows, considering using another kind of squishy candy, like gumdrops or even play-doh!

Your engineering challenge is to create a home for a polar bear! Will your home be big enough or sturdy enough?

No polar bear? Get creative and design a home for a penguin, artic fox, rabbit, or even a snowman!

We hope you had fun designing and engineering today. Don’t forget to leave pictures of your designs in the comments below. Let us know how the design and building process went! We can’t wait to see what you come up with.
