				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>April is coming this weekend, and we all know the saying &#8220;April showers bring May flowers!&#8221; So how do you enjoy the Spring with your lil&#8217; ones? We have a cute craft that will keep your lil&#8217; ones busy and bring in the Spring: flower pots!</p>
<p>This is a three-part craft: painting the terracota pots, planting the flowers, and watching them grow!</p>
<p><strong>Part 1: Painting the Terracotta Pot</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 13px;">Preparation: First put down plastic over you table or something to protect your table. Next, clean and sand the terracotta pot. First wipe off any dirt or dust. Then, take a sander and smooth out any imperfections. Wipe the sanding dust off the pot with a wet rag. Now you&#8217;re ready to start! </span></li>
<li>Paint: Use foam shapes or paint brushes to decorate the pot as your lil&#8217; ones desire!</li>
<li>Seal: If you want, spray acrylic paint to coat the outside and keep from chipping.</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Part 2:  Planting Your Flowers</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><b> </b>Stones: Put a layer of rocks or stones on the bottom to help drain through the holes.</li>
<li>Dirt: Fill the pot about 2/3 of the way with potting soil. Make a little indent in the middle with your hands or a spoon.</li>
<li>Plant: take your bulb out of the wrapping and place in the soil.</li>
<li>Pack: Pack more dirt around the top and sides of the plant</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Part 3: Watch them grow!</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Make sure to water your flowers and give them plenty of sunlight! Enjoy them grow as the spring goes on!</p>
