If you haven’t noticed yet, pool noodles are not just for summer time fun any more. It is hard for me to pass up a pool noodle that is on sale because I am always thinking, “I bet I could come up with one more thing to do with noodles this year that we haven’t done before!”…
Noodle Building
The wonderful thing about noodles is they are soft and light weight so they make a great tool for building and construction outdoors or indoors….
Noodle Geometry
We also explored making different shapes with our noodles.
Noodle Roads
And how about making a road or racetrack?

Noodles can lead to all sorts of play with a little thinking outside the box…

Noodle Chains
Just cut up some noodles and you can make a noodle chain…
Noodle Blocks
