3. Recycled Milk Carton Chalet

Turn your empty carton into a weatherproof house. This project teaches kids the value of reusing materials.

  • How to Make: Clean and dry a half-gallon milk carton. Cut a square hole on one side for the opening. Poke two holes at the top to feed a string through. Paint the outside and glue on twigs or pebbles to decorate it like a cabin.
  • Things Needed: Empty milk/juice carton, acrylic paint, non-toxic glue, twigs, twine, scissors.
