Flower Pot Craft Idea for Gifts

These make a great gift for a child to make and give away.  

Materials: clay pot, paint, seed, soil

1.  Provide each student/child with a clay pot. 
2.  Use different colored paint (acrylic) to paint the child's thumb.  
3.  Press painted thumb to the flower pots in different areas.  
4.  Use black marker or bubble t-shirt paint to add characteristics to the thumb prints.  
5.  Use the paint to write "Thumbody Loves You" on the flower pot.

For science, have the student germinate a flower seed in the window first and let it grow about a month prior to Mother's Day to give as a gift.  You can make the thumb prints into insects like seen in the picture or flowers.
