Simple Elementary + Preteen Craft: Forget-Me-Not Easter Pots

For each child, you’ll need:

• a small terra cotta pot,
• a two-hole button,
• a chenille craft wire, and
• a package of forget-me-not seeds.

To create the Easter pots, you’ll also need:

• tempera paints,
• paintbrushes,
• craft foam,
• scissors,
• glitter,
• glue, and
• tissue paper.

Have kids each paint the outside of a terra cotta pot with tempera paint. Set the pots aside to dry. Then have kids each cut out a 3×5-inch cross from craft foam and decorate its edges with glitter. Glue the crosses to the outer rim of the dry terra cotta pots. Give kids each a button and have them thread a chenille craft wire through the button and create a bow. Glue a button to the center of each cross. Arrange tissue paper inside the pots, and place a packet of seeds in each center. Have kids give their Forget-Me-Not Pots as they share the events of Easter with a friend, family member, or neighbor.
