Packing Peanut Collages

I bought somethings in the mail that came packed with a hundreds of packing peanuts. I didn't want to just throw them out, so I planned to collage with them.
The boys enjoyed being able to use as much glue and peanuts as they wanted.
Westley started gluing his together in a stack, trying to make it tall
However, as time went by Westley discovered his tower was shrinking.
Turns out that these are the newer biodegradable packing peanuts.
So, we had a little lesson on what dissolve means and dissolved a few in water (which was also fun for them)
We will follow up with another activity/lesson on dissolving things sometime soon
