Decorating a Plant Pot and Growing an Organic Plant
Decorating a plant pot it's a fun eco friendly crafts project for all ages. Your children can grow organic plants in their decorated plant pot, which will visually demonstrate how fruits and vegetables grow.
Materials: - Terracotta plant pot
- Gesso or some other paint emulsion
- Color paints (water based)
- Paint brushes
- Soil (for organic plants)
- Organic seeds
1. Ask your child to paint the pot with a base coat of emulsion or gesso, put aside to dry.
2. Let your child decide how they are going to decorate the pot: colorful dots, stripes, stars, paint some flowers, butterflies or ladybugs. Just let their imagination go wild. 3. Put some paint on a paper plate and let your kid decorate his pot. Let it dry. 4. Together, fill the pot with soil and plant the seeds.
Tips:
Talk about the design with your children before they start, then let them get on with it.If you don't want to use paint, use misc. craft supplies such as googly eyes, stickers etc that can be glued to the pot.
