-
Yarn or ribbon for hair

Felt or fabric pieces for tongues, ears, or clothes
Needle & thread or craft glue

Make Hair: Use yarn, ribbon, or scraps of fabric.
Decorate: Add felt tongues, ears, or clothes to bring your character to life. -

1 jar tomato pasta sauce

1 sprinkle grated cheese (Turbo says it’s “duck feathers”)

A dash of olive oil

Trash to Treasure: Tin Can Lanterns
“Quack hello, friends! Turbo here with another Trash to Treasure adventure. Today we’re turning boring old tin cans into twinkling lanterns that will make your garden glow like starlight. Let’s get quacking!”
Steps:
-
Gather materials: Empty tin cans, hammer, nail, tea lights (or LED candles), wire (for handles, optional), paint.
-
Prep the cans: Clean and remove labels. Fill with water and freeze (so the tin doesn’t bend when hammered).
-
Punch designs: Use nail + hammer to tap out holes in patterns (stars, hearts, swirls).
-
Decorate: Spray paint or hand-paint the cans in bright colours.
Light them up: Pop in candles or LEDs for a magical glow.
Tips:
-
Add wire handles to hang them in trees.
-
Use different tin sizes for a cluster effect.
-
Great for parties, Christmas, or just everyday charm!
Turbo's Tip
“Quack clever! Always freeze your tins with water inside before hammering your designs. It stops the can from squishing and keeps your stars and hearts looking perfect. And remember—LED tea lights are just as sparkly and much safer for little wings and paws!”

Turbo’s Trick-or-Treasure Rolls!
This week’s spooky-season craft is frightfully fun and planet-friendly!
Save those empty toilet rolls — they’re about to become the cutest little Halloween treat boxes.
How to make them:
-
Take a clean toilet roll and make four 1-inch cuts on the bottom of each end.
-
Gently fold the cut sections inward — they’ll tuck into each other to create a neat little cube-shaped end.
-
Repeat on the other side so both ends are closed.
-
Decorate with spooky faces, stickers, or ribbon.
Pop in a small treat (a lolly, toy, or even a painted pebble) — then fold the top closed to keep the surprise inside!
These are perfect for trick-or-treaters, Halloween table favours, or as part of a fun family craft night. Best of all, they turn “trash” into treasure — Turbo style!
