Tips
Clean surfaces work best – Squigz stick best to smooth, clean tables, windows, or whiteboards.
Introduce by shape and color – Let younger students explore the different shapes before structured activities.
Use for fine motor skill development – Great for early learners to practice grip strength and coordination.
Incorporate building challenges – Ask students to build the tallest tower, longest chain, or a specific shape.
Encourage teamwork – Use group tasks to promote collaboration and creative problem-solving.
Integrate math – Have students sort by color, count pieces, or create repeating patterns.
Story-based builds – Challenge students to build something related to a story or theme (e.g., a robot, rocket, or animal).
