Cooperation Project!!

Ty just loves being a cub scout! He has almost earned his wolf! For one of the wolf requirements he was asked to lead a family activity that promotes cooperation. It's kind of funny to listen to an older brother try to teach a 3 & 5 year old cooperation! Ty first said "Ok guys, we are going to learn how to cooperate, listen to me and do what I say!!" Well that wasn't exactly what we (Mimi or Mom) had in mind for the activity! I guess we need to have more of a discussion about cooperation!

 For the cooperation project we used constructed figures using marshmallows and toothpicks. As you can see Caleb really got into this project!

 Caleb made a fantastic spiderweb! (And I think he ate as many marshmallows as he used!)

 Mara was pretty good at the cooperation activity, we found it was easiest to work together doing their own projects!

 This turned out to be a really fun activity for the day! The kids made buildings, houses, a playground with swings, slides, and monkey bars! Who knew marshmallows and toothpicks could make such a fun project!

That's how I like to cooperate, too. Work together doing your own project. Your kiddos certainly are adorable!
