Picture 'Step-by-step plan for a full bucket'

Explanation of what happens when your bucket is full

Available sizes

You can purchase this plate in different forms:

• Download PDF file - A3 format. Also printable in A4*.
• Buy a physical A3 poster – waterproof and tearproof.

* You can also print an A3 PDF on A4 paper using a standard A4 printer. When printing, select "Fit to paper size" or a similar setting in the settings. The wording will be slightly different for each printer. Because A3 and A4 have the same aspect ratio, the A3 PDF will fit perfectly on A4 paper. Of course, everything will be much smaller; I designed the image for A3.
