Stem in a bag... Summer style!
Bridge Building!
Alternatives for Bridge building:
Draw a bridge on paper - design from the side or the top
Use popsicle sticks
Hot glue works the fastest, but tape and Elmer's glue will work too.

A Note From My Heart...
I love watching these "Dad Lab" videos, the look on his son's face when he sees it work reminds me of the wonder kids have for the world around them. My daughter Summer is a scientist and you know as a parent I "love" having those science experiments in her room... on her carpet... but the reality is I can replace those. I want her to be curious and DO the things, not just watch Youtube videos of other people doing things. SO.... let's agree to all let our kids be curious and hope we can get a group deal on new carpet at the end of summer. Ha! Love you, friends.
