Nutty Creations

How we did it:
Materials List
- peanuts in their shell
- glue
- twist ties
- markers or paint
-
Gather a handful of shelled peanuts and several twisty ties.
-
Crack the shells in half and cut the twist ties in half. We cracked shells and ate the peanuts for quite a bit before we got enough that were cracked exactly half but that was part of the fun.
-
Line each shell half with a thick line of glue and put 2 twisty ties (previously cut in half) on top of one of the shells. Then cover it with the other shell half.
-
You can also use 3 twisty ties to make animal legs or add more twisty ties at the top to make crazy hair.
-
No matter how many ties you use, put them in between the glued shell halves.
-
Once the glue is dry, draw faces and other details on your nutty characters with markers or paint.
-
Bend the twisty ties to position the legs, arms, and/or hair.
