Get a local, regional or long distance map. Use it to plan a road trip!
Once you've planned your route, embellish the experience with research about the sights along the way and in the towns and cities you'll go through. Even if you don't have the time to actually take the trip, the planning is lots of fun!
Get acrylic paint tubes in white, black, red, yellow and blue. Have a tub of rinse water, a paint brush, a colour mix grid and something you can use to get a specific (small) amount of paint.
Measure, mix and chart colours to make recipes for your favourite shades, hues and tints for future reference.

Mud on purpose (as opposed to when you're dressed up or on your way to work) can feel glorious to squish theough bare toes and playful fingers.
