Episode 21
Building a skinny tower out of buttons and Play-Doh can be a fun way for your children to develop fine motor skills and use critical thinking. Through trial and error and discussion, they will learn how building a wider base leads to a stronger tower. Challenge your kids to see how tall they can make their towers, then measure and record write information about their constructions.
