A colourful flower pot that is easy for children to create as a gift for special occasions.
Materials Needed:
- A ceramic flower pot (one for each child)
- White school glue
- Tissue paper in lots of different colours
- Paintbrush
- Small bowl
- Newspaper to cover work surface
What to do:
- Children can help by ripping up tissue paper in the colour of their choice or use a variety of different colours.
- Add some white school glue to a small bowl.
- Using a paintbrush, the child should spread glue on their flowerpot.
- Add the pieces of torn-up tissue paper onto the wet glue on the flowerpot.
- Continue spreading glue and adding tissue paper until the entire flowerpot is covered in colourful pieces of paper.
- When the flowerpot is complete, cover the entire flowerpot in a layer of glue over the tissue paper.
- Let it dry.
- The flowerpot is complete!
Hints and Tips:
- Some tissue paper pieces may not stick; when applying the glue all over, this will fix it.

- After it dries, you can use clear acrylic sealer.
- Add soil and a seed and wrap in clear cellophane before gifting.
