Answer:
I'll make a toy by using the plastic materials so we can reduce environmental pollution.we can not only make toys but also we can plant plantts in plastic materials or containets
Instructions
First cut off the top of a white Pediasure plastic bottle.
Make two holes on each side of the top third of the bottle and two holes on the sides on the bottom third of the bottle.
Cut two 19″ thick rubber band pieces, one will go throughout the arms and the other will go through the lets of your robot.
Insert one rubber band piece throughout the two upper holes in the white plastic bottle and the other piece through the bottom holes.
Cut off the bottoms off of two orange juice bottles. Make a small hole in the center of one and but the cable with the led lights through the hole leaving the battery pack on the outside.
Wrap the LED lights around the white plastic bottle.
Bring the two bottoms of the clear plastic bottles together around the white bottle with the LED lights, these will be the chest and the back of your robot. Make sure the battery pack is in the back.
Make two small holes on each side of the chest piece and two small holes on each side of the back piece and tie the chest and back together with two plastic ties. You should have both rubber band pieces sticking out on the sides and on the bottom of your robot’s torso, these will make the arms and legs.
Make a hole on the bottom of 4 Pediasure bottles and on opposite sides of 4 ping pong balls.
Remove the metal top off the 4 plastic caps (from the Pediasure bottles), this will leave only a ring with a large round hole in the center of each cap.

Start with one arm and thread into the rubber band the following: one plastic cap, one ping pong ball, and one Pediasure bottle. You should have a small piece of rubber sticking out of the bottom of the Pediasure bottle. I used a large nail and inserted it through the rubber band to prevent the rubber band from going back into the bottle. Depending on the type of rubber band (mine is like a tube and very thick) you could simply make a knot at the end.
Once you are done with one arm do the second one following the same procedure as the first.
Make 4 small holes on opposites sides of the Pediasure bottle you are using for the second arm, make the holes as near to the bottom as you can.
Cut off the mouth off your 6th Pediasure bottle and tie it to the end of your robot’s second arm with 4 plastic ties.
Like in your first arm you should have a small piece of rubber sticking out of the bottom of the Pediasure bottle. Again use a large nail and insert it through the rubber band or make a knot at the end of the rubber band.
Just like with the arms thread one bottle cap, one ping pong ball and one Pediasure bottle into each side of the rubber band piece that makes up your robot’s legs.
Cut off two bottom corners of the milk bottle to make the feet. Make a hole on the corner and thread the pieces of plastic through each side of the rubber, these will be your robot’s feet.
Just like the arms, you should have a small piece of rubber sticking out of the bottom of each of the robot’s feet. Again use a large nail and insert it through the rubber band or make a knot at the end of the rubber band.
To prevent the legs from wiggling in every direction pass a plastic tie through each of the bottle caps where the legs begin and tie it together.
Make two small holes on the top of your robot’s chest and two small holes on the bottom of the small grey MiO bottle.
Using a plastic tie to tie the head (the grey bottle) to the top of the chest.
Cut two pieces of plastic from the milk bottle to make the two fingers for your robot’s first arm. Tie them to the bottom of the Pediasure bottle with plastic ties, you will need to make two holes on the bottom of the bottle and a hole on the ea plastic “finger”.
Using plastic ties tie the battery pack to the back of your robot.
Make two small holes on the back of your robot’s head and using a plastic tie make an antenna.
