This week Unplug your kids projects are all about paint. I tried to think of something more exciting than just getting the paint out and painting on paper. So I decided to have the kids paint our garbage can.
Earlier in the day while checking out The Crafty Crow we clicked on the tutorial for painted sticks. I figured as long as we have the acrylic paints out we might as well paints some sticks for our yard too!

Then, surprise, surprise, Ginger painted herself!
We haven’t decided where we will put these yet-but I like the idea of brightening up the shade!
Those sticks are lovely! And painting the boring green trash can is sheer genius. We have the same boring green trash can. Now every time I look at it, I will see your cheerful one in its place. This means we’ll have to paint ours too. Thanks for the inspiration!
That looks like so much fun and your photos are absolutely beautiful!
Great pictures, love the idea of painting the garbage can, it almost makes you want to take out the trash! =)
great idea! i’m sure it’ll put a smile on your garbage collector’s face!
Here via Kirtsy. I love the painted sticks. These would be great art for the yard. I’m definitely going to do this with my kids. Thanks for the inspiration.
Those sticks are really inspiring… I love that idea. And the trash can too. Thanks for the summer project ideas.
Those sticks are real works of art and the vibrant colours … irresistible!
