i want to make birdfeeders and raincatchers from plastic bottles with the children and have everything needed but what have you used to decorate the bottles? i dont want the children to get upset if it all falls off/runs off after a few days!

permenant markers should do the trick? my home made bird feeders are just left plain and hidden in a tree so didn't decorate them. The raincatchers you could decorate with coloured marker pens - or just draw the measuring marks on the outside. If you wanted some colour you could always put a few drops of food colouring in the rain catcher so the water tints and each child could have different coloured rain water - tie it into rainbows maybe?
triangle sandwiches are better than square ones...
i was worried about permanent markers on little fingers/parents moaning!
great idea about food dye in rain catchers!
I used acrylic paints to paint plastic bottles for raincatchers, they look lovely. You just have to be careful that they dont get it on their clothes.
did acrylics wash off hands etc ok? happy to use aprons etc for clothes!
