What to do for fun

Spoke and hub structure

Use toothpicks and miniature marshmellows to make a structure of any shape you choose. The toothpicks are pushed into the marshmellows and  held by the marshmellows somewhat as spokes are held by the hub of a bicycle wheel. Use as many hubs as you like with spokes of one hub going to other hubs. Uncooked, dry spagetti can be used instead of toothpicks, and gumdrops can be used instead of marshmellows.

Start the structure on a piece of stiff cardboard if you think you might want to move it later. Put as few or as many spagetti pieces into a particular marshmellow as seems necessary at the time. Push the marshmellow as far onto the spagetti as seems appropriate. Break the spagetti into any length you need. Be creative.
