Under 5$ Spring Craft




Spring Is Here!

It's time to smell the roses...or whatever you prefer.
Here is an awesome project you can do with the young'ns for about $3

I picked up:1 terracotta pot
1 package of seeds- whatever your fancy
1 bag of potting soil
(all from the 99cent store)
for each kido 

Like some of you I already had paint and brushes layin’ around the house as well as some (dollar tree) shallow plastic bowls.

I picked out 5 colors of acrylic paint & placed a little in each bowl.

I gave each kid a paint brush and set them up outside with some water to rise their brushes and let them design their own flower pot.

Let the paint dry over night… the next day you can spray a clear coat, such as Krylon, over the artistic masterpieces.

After another 24 hrs place in your potting soil and follow your seed package instructions.

Enjoy
