Each of my kids received a flower bulb in their Christmas stocking, from Santa (or one of his sweet elves...I am going to remember this for next year). Soon after, we took an outing to a closing local plant nursery, and each child chose a succulent. And soon after that, their star/heart charts earned each of them a reward...flower pots for their living goodies.
Eager crafters that they are (just about every medium has been asked for or used recently), out came all the paints. (I was thinking decoupage could have been fun for this one, too.)
Bulbs and succulents + pots + paint = Two happily entertained kiddos and four beautiful additions to the sun shelf above our kitchen sink.
