How to Build a Milk Jug Igloo - Midland Christian School

This milk jug igloo was part of a unit on snow. It took 3 weeks to collect the 428 milk jugs used to make the igloo. It is a built on a cardboard base and the jugs are connected with high temperature hot glue. The finished igloo is about 5' tall and easily fits eight to 10 children, who like to spend their reading time in the igloo. Total investment: $12 for the glue sticks.

Cool!  I would have loved to have seen all the kids in it at the end. How many hours total? Was there is stimulus money involved? Can you take it outdoors and give it to a local family to spend the night in? If you filled the jugs with warm water, how many nights would it keep you warm?
