Penny Piggy Banks
Create your own piggy bank - inspired by Tottenham's Priscilla Wakefield who set up the first penny savings bank.

You will need
- small milk bottle (or other drinks bottle)
- 4 x bottle lids for feet
- coloured paper and/or tissue paper
- colouring pens/pencils
- scissors
- PVA glue, glue stick or sticky tape
- an adult to supervise cutting
Instructions:
1. Put your clean milk bottle on it's side and use a pen to draw a small rectangle on the top.
2. Ask an adult to help you cut out the rectangle to make your coin slot.

3. Take the 4 bottle lids and using glue or tape attach them to the bottom of your milk bottle to make the pig's feet.

4. Decorate the bottle and lids with paper or tissue paper – we used pink, but you can make your pig any colour you like. Make sure not to cover the coin slot at the top.
5. Use your coloured pencils, or different paper, to create eyes, ears, a nose and a tail.
Your piggy bank is now ready to use!
