Continue building with marshmallows and toothpicks. Build as many different structures as you want. To start, you might want to pick a simple structure to recreate, like a pyramid or a cube. Then, work up to a bigger pyramid or a skyscraper. Ready for a real challenge? Build your own castle with turrets, a gate, and more!
