Go potty!
A bit of ingenuity can produce all manner of plant pots, which you can then decorate.
Overview
- Ask girls to bring some containers suitable for growing seeds or plants to your meeting. Encourage them to be inventive - as well as yoghurt pots or other food containers, they could bring old Wellington boots or shoes.
- Decorate the containers.
- When they're dry, you can fill them with soil and plant your seeds or plants. (You may have to leave them until your next meeting).
