Last autumn we were given several bags of packing peanuts and I posted about crafts with packing peanuts. We still have a basket of peanuts left and they've been great for indoor play during the winter.

What a lovely idea! Looks like Sunnyboy really enjoys them =)
ReplyDeleteLots of fun to keep a boy busy, good to bring out on a rainy day. Mum and Dad
ReplyDeleteMy kids have loved those, too, although we haven't been able to get such a big supply of them at one time like you have :) It's kind of like playing in sand.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I used to love playing with boxes of these as a kid! We didn't call them peanuts though - think we just called them "foam package things"!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with Learning Laboratory at Mama Smiles - this is such a lovely free play sensory learning activity!
