Kids' Summer Crafts with Sara Davies: Recycled water gun bottles

Join Sara as she shares a variety of fun, easy, and imaginative projects to keep your little ones entertained and creatively engaged throughout the summer.

This idea's bound to cause a splash - it's a water gun made from recycled bottles. Not only is a cheap to make but the kids will play with them for hours! You'll just need to rescue a few bottles from the recycling bin, including some with a spray nozzle.

What you'll need:

    • Empty water bottle  
    • Spray nozzle  
    • Glue


Step-by-step instructions:

  • Poke a hole big enough for the tube in the bottom of the empty water bottle. 
  • If you are recycling the spray nozzle from another bottle make sure it is completely cleaned before reusing it in the water gun. 
  • Put the tube in the bottle and add hot glue around to seal the hole. 
  • Glue the spray mechanism in place towards the top of the bottle. 
  • Fill the bottle with water and you’re ready to have fun.
