  • Fill the bottle up with water and screw on the lid.
  • You can now water seeds using your recycled watering can.
  • You can also try decorating the bottle with permanent markers.

Why not try making a recycled bottle mini greenhouse or some lollipop stick seed markers to use with your watering can?
