Patchwork Pots for Mother's Day
Using the same directions as the Patchwork Pot, Bug, Fairy and Pixie were busy making flower pots for their mommy for Mother's Day. They needed assistance putting the trim on, and I did put the 2nd and 3rd coat of Mod Podge on for them, but they picked out the fabrics, painted the rims and glued on their pieces. I think they turned out lovely! Tomorrow we are going to the nursery and buying flowers for the pots. Won't Mommy be surprised Sunday morning?!!

Question. I have a brownie
Question. I have a brownie troop. Do you think this is something a group of 2nd graders could do mostly on their own? I have helpers.
My 6 year old was able to do
My 6 year old was able to do it mostly on his own with precut fabric pieces. Handling the pinking sheers would have been too hard for him. I think that second graders could handle this with minimul help. Note... It may take a couple sessions for drying times.

Happy Mother's Day!
I have a feeling that Michelle might have an inkling as to what is going on....regardless, it looks like the kids worked so hard on those pots. They are awesome. I can't wait to see how they look with some flowers planted in them.

Considering she helped
Considering she helped Pixie... she might suspect HOWEVER she won't know what kind of plants are going in the pot... I don't even know, they'll pick them out, so it will be a bit of a surprise. You have a wonderful Mother's Day, too! We are having a potluck brunch here at the house. Everyone wanted an early get together so we'd all go home and have some garden time left! Hehe... what can I say... I come from an obsessive family! I'll have pics of the planted pots AFTER Mother's Day so you know who doesn't see them before hand!
