MATERIALS

Make two rectangles, each out of four marshmallows, two half-length noodles and two quarter-length noodles. These rectangles will be the base of the tower.

Insert a half-length noodle into the top of each marshmallow. Each noodle should stand vertically.

On the short sides of each rectangle, connect the pairs of vertical noodles by topping them with a single marshmallow.

Use four half-length noodles to connect the four top marshmal-lows. The added noodles should form a square with the marsh-mallows. This is the tower’s midsection.

Insert a full-length noodle into the top of each upper marshmallow.

Connect the four full-length noodles by topping them with a single marshmallow. Your Eiffel Tower is now complete!
