peaceful_sandsIt may be winter here, but in some respects it made it a good time for this project. I got some cheap terracotta flowerpots and some acrylic paints and this was the result.
The 7 year old I was working with drew stripes and then patterns in each stripe with white chalk. Any mistakes were easily rubbed out but as a guide that wasn't going to show up once the paint was on it was ideal.
I don't know how these will stand up long term to exposure to the weather but I have hopes that they'll at least last the year. An alternative would be to use them for inside plants where they might last longer.
We used new pots, but old ones cleaned up and scrubbed down would work just as well.
