What educators are saying
My students enjoyed learning about shapes with this hands on activity. They were able to make many different shapes and see differences in the 2D shapes and 3D shapes.
My students loved this activity! It was challenging but not too challenging to where they were struggling.
Description
STEM Activity – 16 2D & 3D Shape Task Cards using Marshmallows and Toothpicks. Includes two sets – Set includes how many toothpicks and marshmallows are needed for each shape. Set two only displays the shape to challenge students to create without revealing the number of toothpicks and marshmallows are needed to complete each shape. Please Note: A few cards will NOT show ALL vertices but acts as a guide.

CCSSK.G.A.3
Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).
CCSSK.G.B.4
Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
CCSSK.G.B.5
Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
CCSS1.G.A.2
Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
