Bottle Piggy Bank

Have some plastic bottles laying around from before you realized how easy it is to use reusable? Rather than recycling them, upcycle them! There are so many things you can do with old plastic bottles. Try turning them into a planter, pencil holder, or even a doll! For a fun and very simple class craft, here's some easy instructions for turning a plastic bottle into a piggy bank. Let it be a reminder to save both some money and our planet!

Steps:

1. Using scissors or a knife, cut a slit on the side of a plastic bottle. Make sure it's both long and wide enough to fit coins.

2. Place the plastic bottle on its side, with the slit facing upwards. Attach four "legs" to the bottom of the bottle to prevent it from rolling around. You can do this using thumbtacks, or by attaching small items such as pebbles, toothpaste caps, or even rolled paper with glue.

3. Decorate your piggy bank and then start saving!
