2 D and 3 D shape

The children have been working so hard at looking at and learning the name of different shapes.  We made different shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.  The children were given very little instruction on how to make the 2 and 3 dimensional shapes.  We also had a talk about how it might be hard to make cones, spheres and cylinders as there is no way to bend the toothpicks.  This did not stop them from trying.

I made a rectangle using 6 marshmallows and 6 toothpicks. 

I tried to make a sphere.

I made two squares.
