A choice of 45 free primary art and craft kits are available until June 2005 in exchange for star tokens from Persil packets. Registering schools receive a free stART with drawing pack about using the environment as a resource, and can enter the Persil Hands-on Art Awards, by submitting group-based art and design projects by February 4 based on what different environments might be like in the future. The top three in each category - four to seven, seven to ten and 10 to 12 - will win a Persil Art Day for their school led by an artist, designer or illustrator.
