A Clover-Top-hat Coin Bank

What You’ll Need:

• green poster board
• large plastic lid
• scissors
• glue
• green paper
• short cardboard tubes
• pencil

How to Make It:

1. On green poster board, trace around a large plastic lid. Cut out the circle.

2. Glue green paper around four short cardboard tubes. Glue the tubes, standing up, in the middle of the circle. Let the glue dry.

3. Turn the tubes over and use a pencil to trace around the tops of the tubes onto green poster board. Draw a four-leaf clover shape around this tracing, and cut it out. Draw a smaller clover, and cut it out.

4. Cut four coin slots in the large clover. Glue the large clover on top of the tubes. Glue the small clover on the side of the tubes.

5. Label the coin slots “Quarters,” “Pennies,” “Dimes,” and “Nickels.”

6. To make your bank reusable, cut four holes in the base to remove coins. Put the plastic lid over the base to use the bank again.
