Your Local Early Learning Centre shares this month’s activity of the month… Milk Bottle Piggybank!
As milk is a staple in almost every household, this Cow Milk Bottle Piggybank DIY is the perfect way to teach your children the value of reusing recycled items. Get creative and follow these simple steps to create your very own!
For this activity, you will need:
- Empty 2L or 3L Milk Bottle
- Cardstock Paper
- Paint & Paintbrushes
- Scissors & Pen Knife
- Glue
- Pair of googly eyes
Steps:
- Clean out your emptied milk bottle and let it dry.
