Wow! these kids really love to build things. They are like small energetic architects who don't need glue or tape to build fantastic structures. Like the Taj Mahal or a drive-in movie theater complete with popcorn.
I took about 1/2 of my stash of recyclable material and let them explore and experiment. There were about 50+ kids all together and we worked in two separate stages. I didn't even have to prompt them on what to do with the styrofoam and cardboard. I DID have to prompt them not to tear it apart or use it as weapons on each other's heads...lol
Just check out the videos and photos...one photo on the right and others will follow
