Art can improve most things - even utilitarian wheelie bins! This is an engaging and easy to organise activity for budding artists of all ages.

Ingredients:

• Garbage or recycling bins
• Paint
• Artists of any ability

Method:

1. An activity for a street to do together. Put a call out for old paints lying around in the shed, or see if a local hardware store can donate some products.
2. Find some keen artists to provide some instructions and encourage people to paint their bins.
