Milk Jug Craft Ideas for Kids

Milk isn't the only thing that packages well by the gallon. Using milk jug craft ideas from this page, your party guests can turn an empty plastic jug into a portable hot-rod garage or anything else you desire - possibilities are endless!

Materials Needed:

  • Plastic 1-gallon milk jug
  • Craft knife
  • Construction paper
  • Black marker
  • Toothpick
  • Cardboard
  • Thread spool

    Milk Jug Craft First, cut a 3 1/2-inch-square garage door opening in one of the container's flat sides with a craft knife (parent's job only). Glue construction paper roof shingles around the top of the jug. Next, add a business sign, made out of construction paper and hung on a toothpick. Poke the toothpick into the jug just above the garage door.

    To make a floor, set the jug on a piece of cardboard and trace around the base. Trim the edges so it will slide easily through the doorway. Decorate by gluing on construction paper tiles.

    Glue on a construction paper fuel pump and air hose by poking a hole in the side of the jug and tying on a piece of string. A thread-spool car lift finishes of the interior.
