I searched Pinterest for ideas and we made this milk bottle Elmer together.

We took a half pint sized milk bottle,cut it off . Next Defne sticked tissue paper using watered down glue.
Then she added googly eyes,ears and a tail! And as a 5 year old girl, she had to use pink, a lot :)
She loved her Elmer and played with it and was very proud to show to her teacher.
We don't drink cow's milk so I wasn't aware of the different bottle types but having made it'I realised a bigger and a curvier bottle would create nicer Elmers :)
