When you are
buying a 1.5 litre water bottle for sale, the last thing on your mind is likely
to be arts and crafts. However, when you are looking to keep your children
entertained during the school holidays, this humble plastic bottle could
provide you with plenty of inspiration. So, here we will explore some project
ideas to make use of your supply of water bottles.
Make a Plastic Bottle Scene:
While most
parents won’t let their kids anywhere near a ship in a bottle, this can make a
great inspiration for a crafts project. Your 1.5 litre water bottles are the
ideal size to create a scene where little hands won’t be at risk of cuts, and
you won’t need to worry about breakages. All you need to do is remove the label
and cut a rectangle or oval from the side of your bottle. This will form the
platform for your scene, so make it as small or large as needed. Glue your
scene characters onto some flexible cardboard and then glue the bottle around
it.
Make A Flower Vase:
This can be a
great activity for mother’s day, as the kids can make flowers using pipe
cleaners and decorated egg box sections and present them in a decorated plastic
bottle vase. There is no need to worry about spilled water or paying over the
odds for flowers that may get crushed during the project. You can simply let
the kids go decorating crazy. The only adult input needed is cutting the top
from the bottle to make the vase shape and cutting up the cardboard egg boxes.
Young children may also need a little help gluing their flowers together and
gluing the decorations to their “vase”.
Musical Instruments:
This one is for
those brave parents who don’t mind a racket. You can use 1.5 litre water bottles or a mixture of different sized
plastic bottles. The kids can decorate their bottles as they please and you can
fill them with a variety of dried beans, marbles, dried pasta or any other
rattling materials. Each shaker will sound different, so your kids can create
their own unique musical instrument. Just be sure to check that they’ve put the
lid on securely and tightened it or you could be picking up dried peas or beans
from corners of your floor for days.
