Anyone have any kids crafts using yogurt containers?
Question:
Answers:
Decorate them to make desk organizers (for pencils, pens or markers) or flower vases. Use them to hold paint or water. Turn them into robots.
If the yogurt containers are #6 plastic, you can use them in much the same way you would use commercial shrink plastic. You can cut it to shape with scissors, sand it, stamp on it with pigment inks, draw on it with sharpies, punch holes in it with a hole punch, etc. Once you’ve got it the way you want it, you can either use a heat gun or a toaster oven to shrink it. You can get some pretty interesting results and in many cases, food containers are available in colors that you can’t get from commercial shrink plastic.
Not so much a craft, but you could plant seeds and watch them grow, explaining the process to the kids. Then replant outside when they are big enough.
Depending on the size and shape of the containers, have you ever thought of making airplanes out of them? I used on to assist my cousin in a project for school. Some of the skinny containers remarkabally can resemble the cockpits of the WWII era planes. Good luck hope it helps. (paperclips for axles, soda cans flattened out for wings. the sky is your limit)
you coul dmake a telephone with it, you know the things everyone used to do when they were young, all you need is a bit of string and 2 containers
