During Lockdown, Room 1 were set the task of collecting some of their recycling. They were keeping plastic milk bottles, coloured paper, magazines, newspaper, wrapping paper and Easter egg wrappers.
After a couple of weeks collecting what we needed, we were set the task of turning our milk bottles into elephants. First we cut off the bottom of the handle so it looked like a trunk with a curve at the end. Then we cut off the bottom of the milk bottle and cut curves to create the legs. After that, we cut or ripped all of our recycled paper into squares. Finally, we glued all our pieces of paper onto the milk bottle. Some people added ears, some added eyes and some added a crown.
Have a look at our individual blogs to see more photos, and to read how we problem solved some issues we had.
Wow room 1!
ReplyDeleteYour elephant art is awesome! this is such a great idea. I'm going to do this with Torbyn, he has just used the bottom of the milk containers for an ANZAC candle holder.
I especially like how you have used the Easter egg wrappers to decorate your elephants, this sure does put a shine on them.
keep up the great work.
nice elephant very detailed and decorative
