Fingerprint Flower Pot Supplies Needed:

  • Unglazed Terra Cotta Clay Pot {around $1 at Home Depot & Lowe’s}
  • Red, Yellow, and Black Acrylic Craft Paints
  • Fine Black Sharpie Marker

Instructions to Decorate Your Pot:

  1. Transfer a little bit of each color of paint to a paper plate.
  2. For the ladybug, dip your child’s thumb in the red paint, dab a bit off so it’s not too much paint, and help them press onto the pot, carefully lifting it away.  After the paint has dried completely, use a sharpie marker to add legs, dots, lines, etc.
  3. For the flowers, dip your child’s middle finger into the black paint, dab a bit off so it’s not too much paint, and help them create a center dot for the flower.  After the black dot has dried completely, dip your child’s pointer finger in the yellow paint, dab a bit off so it’s not too much paint, and help them create petals around the center black dot.  Reapply yellow paint as necessary.
  4. Continue the process, adding as many ladybugs and flower as you would like.
  5. Once the pot has dried completely, add some potting mix, a cute flower or houseplant, and ENJOY your child’s sweet little work of art!

My sweet little man made this for me in when he was six, and I just LOVE it!  I know you’ll cherish the ones your littles make, too!
