Packaging peanuts: Can they be used for crafts?

I found a box full of styrofoam peanuts when cleaning the house today and wondered if they could be used to make Christmas decorations or some other kind of crafts. I think the peanuts are a brilliant material for kids to use in crafts (I know we did when I went to kindergarten) because there’s always so many of them and it’s not really much of a loss if what you’re making doesn’t turn out all that great. I kept improvising all night and came up with a few ideas – nothing too fancy, but definitely worth giving a shot if you’re doing crafts with the little ones. Would you like me to show them to you?

Also, if you have any ideas, brainstorm with me! There are no good ideas out there so let’s get crafty together!
