Upcycling Milk Containers

We can't recycle at the moment so why not try to give your milk containers a second life and you recycle them.

Plant Containers.

Try growing some plants in the containers. Great for herbs or small plants. Think about which vegetables you could grow over winter.

Sandpit or Garden Trowel

Cut the bottom off your container and make a shovel for the sandpit.  Remember to leave the lid on so the sand does not escape.  Great for the garden too.

Pencil Storage Container

Keep all your pens and pencils eat and tidy in your room while learning at home.  You can even decorate the containers with your felts to match your room.

Easter Egg Collection Basket

Easter Bunny may be busy this year but if you are lucky enough for him to visit your place you could make a collection basket to get the eggs.  

Car Garages

If you love to play with small cars then why not make a set of garages or buildings for a small town.  You could make a whole city of buildings and tunnels and places to hide or toys!

Anzac Lanterns

A simple yet effective idea using old milk bottles, tea light candles and felt pens or paint. Please supervise children with candles and don't leave unattended.

Igloo

For the big milk drinkers or the really ambitious you could make an igloo!

Milk Bottle Elephant

Cut the bottom off the container then decorate to make an elephant.  You can use felts or stick on bits of coloured paper for a bright design.
