Laundry Detergent Lid Planter

Here is an inexpensive craft for Mother's Day easy enough for pre-schoolers to do.

Materials:

  • Lid from laundry detergent bottle
  • Stickers or pictures of flowers
  • Bow
  • Hot glue and glue gun
  • Potting soil
  • Small house plant

Decorate your lid with stickers or pictures. Hot glue the bow on (parents can do this step). Fill it up with potting soil and put your plant in. I used a Spider Plant. They always have babies that you can use to start new plants.

We did this in church for Mothers Day this year. The kids enjoyed decorating the planters for their mothers and its a gift that mom can enjoy all year.

What a clever way to use those laundry detergent lids. I'm sure the Moms loved the plants.
