    Default Our plant pots

    These are what my three mindee's painted today, 2 x 2 year old and 1 x 3 year old.

    Just had to hold the pots for them while they painted.

    Really came out well.

    Potting plant in it tomorrow.

    Thanks to whoever gave me the idea.

    I bought some small daffoldil bulbs then realised it was too late to plant.

    So I bought some potted daisy plants, Lady on a small flower stall was selling them for £1.00 each, told her I wanted 5 and she sold them for 50p each.

    Here is a picture of my daughters one finished.

    I think they look pretty and I hope my parents like them.

    We are going ours next week for mothers day.

    I haven't got the bulbs to plant in them yet as I don't know which ones to get.

    I'd love it if my little ones brought one of them home.

    They look great! We did ours last week and planted sunflower seeds. We are going to have a race to see whose grows the tallest.

    The children painted them with normal posted paints and when dry I gave them a couple of coats of clear vanish so they can go outside.

    We are painting them in acrylic paints and then I will put a couple of coats of weather all on so they can go outside.
