How to make a milk bottle watering can
Pre-school children just love making these and totally love using them to help out in the garden. You can make these using any size of plastic milk bottle you like – although the 1 pint bottles work best for younger children as they’re not as heavy to hold.
What you need to make a milk bottle watering can
- empty plastic milk bottle with a screw on lid.
- stickers if you’re decorating – older kids might prefer to use washi tape
- sharp skewer/pen knife
- water

- Made little water holes in the milk bottle lid with a pen knife.
- Filled with water.
- Then went off into the garden to water everything in the world!
