Supplies

  • Jingle bells we used a 9-pack from the dollar store
  • Playdough

Instructions

  • BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Give each child or team a set of jingle bells and some playdough. Clear a flat surface for building the towers.
  • MAKE A BASE: Place a small ball of playdough on the table and press a jingle bell into it.
  • ADD PLAYDOUGH: Add another small piece of playdough on top of the bell.
  • STACK THE BELLS: Continue alternating playdough and jingle bells to build the tallest tower possible.
  • TEST YOUR TOWER: See how many bells you can stack before your tower falls over!

Notes

  • Set a timer to turn this into a fun Christmas minute-to-win-it game. Challenge kids to see who can build the tallest tower without it falling.
  • This simple stacking challenge is a fun way for kids to experiment with balance, problem-solving, and building techniques. Let them try different amounts of playdough to see what works best!
  • Use store-bought or homemade playdough.
  • Check school allergy policies before using homemade dough.
  • If you can't find jingle bells, try Christmas-themed ping pong balls instead.
  • Small bells can be a choking hazard, so supervise younger children and use age-appropriate materials.
