~ ~ ~ ~ Make a Watering Can - Fun Preschool Craft ~ ~ ~ ~
Spend time watering the plants in your garden or yard with your very own watering can. This is a perfect project for toddlers and preschoolers, with an adult punching the holes while they decorate the cans. They love to do things like this!
What you will need:
one half gallon milk jug - you may want several as these are so much fun to make
one nail - adults only - keep out of reach of children
permanent markers or water proof paints - avoid getting on clothing - it doesn't come out
What you do:
1. Wash out the milk jug really well.
2. Decorate your milk jug with markers, paints or even stickers.
3. Punch several small holes in the front of the jug. (If you're not sure where the front is, hold the jug by the handle and pretend to pour water from it.)
4. Pour in some water. Water the plants, the ground, the rocks or anything else you can think of.
You can have a lot of fun with this craft and it is a great outdoor craft for when the weather is really hot.
