For months, the girls’ daycare has been collecting empty milk/water jugs. They said it was a for a school project and that they needed 500+ gallon jugs, but were somewhat vague on the details. I had no idea what they were going to do with them.
Fast forward to last week, when they started construction on this:
and from the inside:
It’s an igloo! I have absolutely no idea what the educational lesson is (perhaps a unit on Eskimos or just the fact that it actually gets cold in other parts of the world?), but it’s pretty cool.
The last sign I saw said that they still needed 25 jugs. You can see that they still have a little to fill in around the door:
I love that they are always thinking of special projects like this to keep the kids interested.
This is a really neat project. I kinda want to make my own now!
I am in awe and wondering how I can start one on my own! That is awesome! Following you on Google Reader now from Thirsty Thursday. Come check me out if you can!

This might just be the COOLEST (no pun intended haha) thing I’ve ever seen!! 🙂
That’s wonderful. I hope I remember this when I have kids of my own one day, because they definitely need one.
Hi Cute. I had to stare at the photo a while to see it was made of!

Hi there! Cool project! Do you know how they stuck them together as would love to make this with some kids! Cheers kimberli
This was done at my daughter’s school, so I’m not 100% sure, but I think it was hot glue. I suppose any heavy duty glue would work though. Good luck on your project!
I would like to have the instruction for this Igloo how would I be able to get them ?

Hi Dorothy! I’m actually not sure how to get instructions for this igloo, as it was done at my daughters’ school (I didn’t do it myself). I know that they collected hundreds of milk gallon containers and then began working from the base up. The base was built up from a circular piece of cardboard that they used as a guide to keep it nice and round. Other than that though, I’m not really sure…
