Don't throw away old milk cartons and bottles.

Here are some fun ideas to recycle and re-use the Fresh Milk Club cartons and bottles:

Plant containers

• Cut off the top of the carton and wash the carton with soap and clean water (plastic bottles work just as well)
• Poke four small holes in the bottom for drainage
• Fill two thirds of the carton with potting compost
• Plant with seeds (such as beans, tomatoes or cress) and place on a sunny windowsill

Make sun-makers

• Peel up one of the side flaps and snip this off
• Wash the carton with soap and clean water
• Once the carton has dried, fill it with dried beans for a really great noise
• Seal the open end with tape
• Pupils can then decorate their sun-makers with paint, coloured paper, beads, buttons, anything you have to hand
• Shake the sun-makers to chase away the rain

Decorative plant guards for the school garden

• Cut off the top and bottom of the carton and wash with soap and clean water
• Pupils can decorate these with beads and buttons and string
• Place the cartons around young plants in the garden to keep away snails and other pesky bugs
