What can you do with a plastic water bottle besides just recycle it?? Here’s one idea…. make something fishy!!
Celebrate civic engagement through art making! In honor of their 30th anniversary, the Children’s Museum of Art in NYC is issuing a new creative challenge each month.
Are you ready to get creative? The #CMACIVICKIDS challenge for April is the “Plastic Bottle Challenge”. You can make my project below, CMA’s propeller-powered boat, or come up with your own unique idea. Have your project added to CMA’s online exhibition by sharing it on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter using the hashtags #CMACIVICKIDS and #TeachKidsArt.
