This cute, sweet butterfly planter is sure to be the perfect surprise for a special occasion, especially Mother’s Day. It is such a simple and easy project that even little kiddos can take part. It will be a favorite gift since the children can do the sponge painting and then create pretty butterflies using their fingertip! This is a super quick and fun project and the moms, grandmothers, or favorite aunts will be so happy to have this special keepsake to display on their porch or patio. Or simply make one to keep for yourself!
Now you are ready to put a lovely plant or flowers into your butterfly planter. Dress it up by adding a ribbon around the top and a bow. Now enjoy it yourself or give it to someone special to make their day.
Variations:
You can let the children make ladybugs, bees, or other insects instead of butterflies. A quick google search will show you how to make them.
You can also make flowers from the children’s fingerprints all over the pot. I have done this before and it turns out so cute!
Have a good day!
