In the game everything is 2D and easy to build up, not so much on a table. Also spaghetti is really not the strong either, I don't know how I could have built big structures but I have some idea's now on how to build them a little stronger so maybe the would get bigger.
For my youngest daughter I built her a sturdy structure that she could try and expand on. I let her imagination run wild as she was adding spaghetti wherever there was a marshmallow. The structure did not get any bigger but she still had a blast creating it.
My oldest daughter was getting the hang of it after a few tries. I also started her on a basic structure and had her go from there. She built a few good structures, but she had a habit of trying to force the spaghetti even after explaining it a few times. She would get frustrated when the spaghetti snapped and would try and start the whole thing over. I I was trying to get her to approach the situation calmly and gently, but we knows kids like to force things together. Overall I think she did a good job with her structures. She had a little help balancing the top portion of this structure.
Either way we had fun. After that we all decided to try and build a bridge together and then see how high we can build a structure. We ran out of marshmallows (I had two bags). I think we will try this again in the future, but maybe first have a try and the drawing board for a design we will build together. Below are some of the structures that my daughters and I built.
