Make your own piggy bank for the school holidays.Piggy bank:
Yiu will need an empty plastic cool drink bottle, scissors, glue or double-sided tape, coloured paper and four cool drink tops/lids.
• To get started, rinse out an empty bottle and ensure that it’s clean.
• Using construction paper, cut out your pig’s ears, eyes, nose and tail.
• Stick the parts to the bottle using double-sided tape or glue.
• Next, tape more construction paper around your pig’s body.
• Attach bottle tops/lids to the bottle with glue(these make up the pig’s feet)
• Carefully cut a slot at the top of the bottle (where the coins will go in)
Airplane bank:
You will need an empty plastic bottle, colored paper paper, double-sided tape, scissors and a pencil.
• To get started, rinse out an empty bottle and ensure that it’s clean.
• Cut a rectangular slot about 4cm long and a ½ cm wide in the side of the bottle.(This is for the money)
• Draw two identical pieces for the back half of the plane that look like upside-down Ls.Draw one side, and then use it as a stencil to draw the second side. That way, both pieces will be identical. Attach them to the plastic bottle with two-sided tape. Pay attention to where the coin slot is
• Draw two identical rectangles about 4 cm long and 1 cm thick on paper. (The plane engines) Cut the rectangles out and then roll them into long tubes.Tape the tubes, and then attach them to the plastic bottle, one on either side.
• Draw two identical triangles with rounded tips on your card stock paper, which will become your wings. Cut them out and attach the wings above the engines.
• Using the bottle cap as a guide, draw your plane propeller. The bottle cap is going to secure the propeller onto the bottle, so you want the circle opening to be slightly smaller than the cap so it doesn’t slip over it.
