A really simple craft for children to make ahead of Mother’s Day is a tiny egg carton flower pot with pompom flowers.
You need:
egg carton
green card or felt
playdough- air drying clay would work too
Cut your egg carton divots out.
Cut the card or felt into strips a little longer that the egg carton is round, and a third higher.
Feather- make little cuts- all the way down the long side of the card and about a third deep.
Glue the strip of feathered card around the egg carton cup and leave to dry.
Trim excess and overlap, and ‘grass’ if you wish.
Decorate with markers, sequins, tissue paper etc.
Finally, fill the grass-covered cup with playdough, and stick in your flowers.
You can add a ‘plant marker’ gift tag if you wish.
To continue the flowers theme, why not try making flower biscuits, a crocus card or even decorate a real flower pot for Mother’s Day?
Go on! You know you want to tell me what you think!
