Benefits

This activity opens conversation about how we can re-use things that we would normally throw away
  1. Cut a strip of paper the same width as your can, and paint this yellow, and then add black stripes
  2. While your paint dries, use the left over paper to cut out two wings
  3. Paint the base of your can black, this will be Bella Bee’s face
  4. When your paint is dry, wrap your painted paper around the can, and use sticky tape to secure
  5. Now, add your wings
  6. Finally it is time to stick on your googly eyes, and two antenna’s (you could use a pipe cleaner, card, or even felt)
  7. Can you find somewhere to display your Bella Bee?

Sedric says:

In the UK we throw away 13 billion cans every year, stacked on top of each other, you could make 3 piles of cans that would reach to the moon!
