What you will need for each recycled truck
How to make your recycled trucks
1. First decide what kind of truck you could make with your bottle eg a fire truck, a logging truck, an ambulance etc.
2. Glue on the lid at the top of the bottle with the PVA glue.
3. Turn your plastic bottle or container on its side to form the body. Then take the 4 small lids and glue them onto your bottle's sides to make the wheels.
4. Decorate your recycled truck with the market pens, pipe cleaners, stickers etc to create windows, doors, roof racks and more - you decide!
5. Why stop at one truck! Use your recycled materials and make more trucks to add to the fleet.
