This is my entry into the Marshmallow Arch Think Challenge. I made a fairly large one, but I probably could have made it a bit more stable if I wasn't handicapped by the fact that I had two different kinds of tongs. This was compounded by the fact that my toothpicks didn't have an umbrella on top. OK, maybe not the toothpick problem, but the tongs made it a bit challenging.

I started with a 2x2 base, but then I had to make one a 3x2 so it would have enough weight to keep upright. Even then, I had to use some pears to brace it! I made groups of two with toothpicks sticking out in all directions so I could pick it up to place it where I needed them. However, I never touched the marshmallows. It got to be pretty tall, and once they started to harden I was able to keep it upright long enough to say I had completed the challenge.

Great job Mr. B!
I know how difficult this task was because of the tongs....you did a great job sticking with the project and I like what you wrote about it here on your blog. :)
Love,

Absolutely awesome -- much larger than I thought anyone would get! You should be proud!
