Milk Jug Whitewater Raft
Made out of a milk jug and a few other household items, this whitewater raft will take your tiny toys on some epic adventures! This project can be put to good use in the lake, at the beach or at the pool.
Materials
Directions
Cut off the base of a gallon milk jug.
Using a hole punch, punch holes in two opposite sides of the jug base.
Take two cake pop sticks and fold a small strip of duct tape over each end. Smooth out the wrinkles. Cut the folded over duct tape on the end of each stick into the shape of a paddle.
Poke the paddles into the holes on either side of the milk jug.
Using a little hot glue, glue the paddles to the jug at the holes on each side of the jug.
