The packaging peanut are biodegradable. They are derived from starch, so if you or your have a corn or similar allergy, best to avoid these. Please reach out to us if it is a problem!
To make a creation, take a small bowl of water and dap a bit of water onto the peanut. Your child can build anything they want with it. Add some paint or color with markers for some added fun!
