Packing Peanut Art
Nontoxic, biodegradable, starch-based packing peanuts are 99.6% air and they melt in water. You can reuse these “peanuts” as building blocks or link them together to make jewelry. Just dip the ends in a little bit of water and they will stick together. Be careful, if you use too much water they will melt. You can color them with markers.
PARENTAL HELP REQUIRED: Meat trays make great shrinky-dink material. You can cut out and color shapes with magic-markers. Heat oven to 450 degrees, then place shapes on foil and watch them shrink. These make great ornaments or charms.
