This week's Think! project was to build a bridge that could hold as much change as possible. We used our vacation fund. It included all coins including golden dollars.
Materials included cups, tape, paper, spoons and spaghetti. Here is what the picklets came up with.

Chip was not into the project as much as the previous weeks. But, as always, he came up with a different way of doing things...lol. First his 15" of tape was 15" of Duct Tape! His paper was card stock. His "bridge" of paper was taped to the cups that hung over the backs of two chairs. Thus, a real bridge.
In theory it was a great idea. In reality our kitten liked his bridge so much that she wouldn't leave it alone. Chip thought he should get handicap because of the kitten hazard. He ended up with 245 coins all together with a grand total of $6.75.
Dill went a safer way by staying on the table. He taped the spoons to the card stock and then to the cup using scotch tape. He put the spaghetti on the paper and started stacking.
