How to make it
Wash hands after handling potting mix.
1Wipe the pot
Wipe off dust with a damp cloth. Let it dry.
2Paint a base coat
Paint the outside a bright color. Leave the inside bare so the soil can breathe.
3Decorate it
Add dots, flowers, handprints or a name once the base is dry.
4Fill with soil
Fill it with potting mix to about 1 in below the rim.
5Plant the seeds
Push 3 seeds about 1/4 in deep and cover them. Water gently.
6Wrap it up
Tie a ribbon around the rim with a card that says what's growing.
Marigolds and zinnias sprout in about a week. That's a nice wait for a kid.
