Instructions for making a Tetra Pak cow
- Help your child cut off the top of the drink carton.
- Now your child can draw cow spots and grass on the paper with the black felt-tip pen and the green colored pencil.
- Now stick the painted paper over the cardboard and cut out the upper edge.
- Draw the outline of a cow on the white cardboard – from the front and from the back. Of course you can also transfer the outline from the template to the paper.
- Now your child can cut out the two parts and color them in with black felt-tip pen and colored pencils.
- Next, glue the front and back pieces to the cardboard.
- Finally, poke a small hole in the cow’s rear and thread a piece of string through it for a tail.
- You can now use your spotted cow as a container for sweets or chocolate bars.
