Have you tried building a structure out of styrofoam eggs yet? Very cool STEM activity to do for Easter, but you have to definitely be careful of sharp pokes! I suggest using paperclips instead of toothpicks but it’s still sharp so set the styrofoam egg on the table while you poke into it with the paper clip end. It’s a very tricky structure to build but it’s challenging, helps with fine motor skills and also helps to increase your patience level. Great tools for life!
Let me know below if you found another material that was more safer to use than paperclips and toothpicks! set out this colorful tray full of paper clips, miniature styrofoam eggs, and a cute little egg bunny 
(just for fun), to form a standing egg structure.
Materials
- Several Paperclips
- Mini Styrofoam Eggs
Instructions
- Open all of the paper clips so it is in a wire form.
- Using one end of the paper clip, poke a hole into the styrofoam egg.
- Use the other end of the paperclip and poke a hole into another styrofoam egg.
- Attach eggs together using paper clips.
- Repeat until you build a 2D or 3D shape or structure.
