Prepare the Cups

Take four disposable paper cups and cut each one in half using scissors.

Create the Base

Cut a rectangular shape from a corrugated sheet. Paint it with Rangeela Tempera Pastel Colours. Use a pencil to divide the board into four sections. In each section, draw corresponding items and paint.

Make the Waste Items

On plain white paper, draw and paint objects using Rangeela Tempera Pastel Colours. After the paint dries, carefully cut out each object.

Decorate the Bins

Take one of the cut disposable cups and paint it green with Rangeela Tempera Pastel Colours. You can add a white recycled symbol on top of the base colour.

Assemble the Bins

Paint the four half-cups in four different primary colours. Using Fevicol MR, stick the cutouts of the waste items onto the top of each corresponding-coloured cup.

Final Assembly

Stick each of the four decorated cups onto its designated section on the corrugated sheet. Add the labels. Your waste segregation craft is ready!
