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.
