Summer Fun {paint, plant, give}

Here is another idea for something fun to do this summer….

Step 1: Go to your local nursery (or anywhere that sells flowers & planting pots)

Step 2: Let the kids pick out flowers.

We needed four.

He had to count to make sure we had four.

He was very gentle and protective of his four plants.

Step 3: Paint pots to plant the flowers in. I used terracotta plants, spray painted them white, the boys paint with craft paint, then topped it off with a clear acrylic sealer. Our pots are too small for long term for the plants we chose.

Step 4: Plant your flowers in the pots.

Step 5: Water and clean off the outside of the pot.

Step 6: Give them away. The boys chose to give theirs to their great grandma (pictured) and two widows that live nearby. Our neighbor made one too for her mom.
