One year, Griffin got an activity kit for Christmas with foam pieces that you can stick together with water to make sculptures. He had fun with it, but had to be careful not to add too much water. The pieces would dissolve into messy goo when soaked in water.
Griffin figured out that these cheetoh-like foam nuggets are similar to biodegradable foam packing peanuts, with colors added. Some foam packing peanuts are made of cornstarch or other materials that dissolve in water, so they won't take up so much space in landfills or cause problems if they blow away outside. He recently found a company selling fun shapes of packing peanuts- and advertising that they are fun for crafts too! So next time you get a package with biodegradable foam pellets, you can try building a sculpture with them.
