Ages 5 and up Start kids caring for a plant by creating a cute creature or monster out of a clay pot. Our time together will include painting and decorating our pots with a face or a pattern. Then we will fill them with dirt and seeds. With a little water (not too much or too little), a little sun and a little time, our creature's hair will start to grow. As it grows, give it a haircut so that it fills out and you will have a cute little companion on your back porch all summer.
