Recycling

To reuse means to use an item again after it has been used. Let’s reuse Danone NutriDay yoghurt cups or any other similar containers to make a 3D Frog. To make green frog friends, you will need: Danone NutriDay yoghurt cups, green acrylic paint, glue, frog template on next page.

1. Clean and dry empty Danone NutriDay yogurt cups.2. Take the yoghurt cups outside or to a well-ventilated area and turn upside- down on some newspaper and paint them green. You may need two or three coats to get even coverage.3. Cut out the shapes from the frog template on the next page and set aside.4. Once the paint is dry you can glue on the frog template shapes using the image below to see where they must go.
