How to Make a Milk Jug Planter Craft for Kids

Looking for a new way to craft with your kids? Here’s how to make a milk jug planter from an empty milk carton using a spring craft theme. This DIY planter is an environmentally friendly craft for kids that can help teach your little gardeners to embrace their green thumbs while learning about the importance of upcycling.

Here’s how:
1. Use a permanent marker to trace a rabbit shape (create the ears on the sides) onto the bottom of the recycled milk jug.
2. Using scissors,cut out the rabbit. Poke a few holes in the bottom to let excess water run out.
3. Take the bottom half and decorate – you can use felt to help prevent damage if your pot is outside.
4. Fill with soil and plant some seeds or a seedling and watch how they grow each week. Try parsley or basil for something you’ll be sure to incorporate into a weekday meal.
