Recycled Plastic Bottle

Create a Bank From a Recycled Plastic Bottle

Materials:
Recycled, tall plastic container, utility knife, recycled paper, scissors, tape, decorative stickers

To help kids see how little changes add up, make a Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle bank. Each time your child puts any of the three R’s into practice, add a penny. When it is full, use the change to make change, buy seeds to grow plants, donate to wildlife cause, etc.

Parents cut a coin slot in the lid.
Kids use recycled paper or stickers to decorate.
