Engineering apple turkeys

Knowing how much Jace loves to build things, I have been excited to show him how to make apple turkeys for this Thanksgiving.  So I added all the necessary items to my shopping list last week.

The ingredients are: apples, toothpicks, gumdrops, raisins, candy corn and marshmallows.



(Ryan thinks it is so funny how focused we both get when we work on projects together.)

Well, when my little engineer saw all the ingredients, his mind did NOT see apple turkeys.

(I guess I can see some similarities.)

It saw a bridge that needed to be built for his cars to drive on.

Which he was able to

engineer just perfectly!
