Make Your Own Weights. Make Your Own Muscles
Back to Articles
Stay in shape by making and decorating a special pair of weights. Make a set for everyone in the family!
Ages: Adults and kids 3 and up
Duration: Under one hour
WHAT YOU NEED
2 empty bottles (per set)
Colored permanent markers
Sand or pie weights (available at cooking stores)
HOW TO DO IT
Take 2 empty and clean bottles.
Peel the label off of each bottle. (Use scissors to make a cut in the top of the label for easier peeling.)
Fill each bottle with sand or pie weights.
Weigh each bottle separately to determine its weight.
Write the number of pounds on the outside of the bottle with the abbreviation "lbs" underneath.
Decorate the rest of the bottle with colored permanent markers and stickers.
TIPS
Make sure you test the markers before writing on the bottles. You don't want ink to come off on your hands!
