Sticks as Building Toys

TJ from Montana says, "who needs Lincoln Logs?!" TJ explains how his kids love to use ordinary sticks to build and craft pretty much anything!

TJ goes on to explain, "My 3- and 4-year old children LOVE sticks just like the photo (shown here)! They make houses and barns and corrals, train tracks and even cars out of the sticks. It's pretty low-tech but they absolutely love them. Their grandparents cut all their shrub and tree clippings to about the same size with their nippers (6- to 8-inches long) and keep them in a big basket... the kids drag it out and start building. Too easy! And fun!!!"
