This is probably one of my favorite crafts for kids because anyone can get a recycled milk jug! It is soo cute and the amount of use it gets is totally worth it. After the kiddos and I made this whale milk jug craft they seriously played with it in the pool the entire time. Whether it was eating the Ariel mermaid barbies or pretending to be a waterfall it was entertaining! Lol! If you use glitter it will come off in the water but the kids had a blast anyway.
You will first need an empty milk jug! Rinse it out good so there's no left over milk! At the bottom of the jug using a sharpie, draw a mouth.
Using a scissors, cut along the lines you just drew.

Here is the happy whales mouth, hehe!

Draw an eye, eyelashes, eyebrow, and a fin on the whale milk jug.

Put glue stick all over the body and sprinkle with blue glitter! Note that the glitter washes off in the water :)

Here is our cute whale swimming in the pool!
Love it! I hope you enjoy and share :)
