Clay Flower Pots

I had a few spare planting pots sitting around, so I decided to pull together this simple and fun activity for my visiting niece. Together we shaped flowers out of clay and decorated a tiny pot. After the clay dried, my niece gave the decorated pot to her mother.

Step-by-step tutorial

  • Step 1

    Choose a variety of colored clay. Crayola's Model Magic works well because it is easy to shape and doesn't stain. However, any type of clay that hardens will work.

  • Step 2

    Decorate the pot however you like! To make flowers, we rolled up green clay for the stems and shaped red clay into petals.
