For the first part of our Three Little Pigs STEM project, we made the straw houses. We made straw houses out of plastic straws. You could do this with paper or plastic straws~ whichever you prefer. \u00a0I started by just giving them string and rubber bands and straws. My son had no trouble with this, but my girls begged for tape, so we added that into the supplies.<\/p>\n
STICK HOUSES:<\/strong><\/p>\n Next, we made our stick houses. \u00a0These we did out of popsicle sticks and masking tape. IF you want to make it harder on them, make them collect sticks and tie them together with twine.<\/p>\n BRICK HOUSES:<\/strong><\/p>\n We did our brick houses out of wooden blocks. Another fun option would be LEGO Bricks. This was the quickest and the easiest house to build. We thought that was funny because in the story of the Three Little Pigs, it\u2019s the opposite.<\/p>\n The Results of Our Three Little Pigs STEM Project<\/strong><\/p>\n The straw houses were the easiest to blow. \u00a0The stick houses were second. Some of them did not even move! \u00a0The bricks houses were not moveable, just like the story. However, the length of time building them was the opposite. It took my kids a lot longer to build the straw houses than any of the others.<\/p>\n Three Little Pigs STEM Project for Kids – Teach Beside Me<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For our STEM project, we wanted to try building all three types of the Three Little Pigs\u2019 houses.
