Have you all seen the watering cans made from milk jugs?
They are quick, thrifty and easy to make.
Just rinse out your finished milk jug. Heat up a big needle or nail with a candle or lighter and melt holes in the milk cap.
It pours out a fine stream that won't damage tiny plants.
And children just love refilling it and watering anything they can with it.
I used a gallon jug but when it is full, it is too heavy for 2 and 3 year olds. I am going to save my current 1/2 gallon jug to make a smaller one.
What watering jug? I can't stop looking at those adorable pig tails! Do you watch Family Affair when you were young? The little girl who had the doll Mrs. Beasley? :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't saw the watering jugs! How smart. I lOVE pinterest.

I have seen that. Some also put several holes like a sprinkler. Kids would love that.

What a great idea! Elizabeth is growing up so fast and I just love that picture of her in her pigtails! So cute. :)
ReplyDeleteYour little gardening assistant is too cute. :) Great tip about the water jugs, Rhonda.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea. My younger ones will really like it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a watering can! Your granddaughter is absolutely adorable, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! I would even let the kids decorate it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. I have been able to get quite a lot of my daily to-do list done, although with some arthritis problems lately I don't get in as much as I'd like!
