Lorax Flower Pot DIY

Paint the inside and outside of a DIY Ceramic Flowerpot using Crayola Orange Acrylic Paint. One coat was all I needed!

While you wait for the flower pot to dry, create truffula trees! I created two different versions. To create the first version, use glue dots, pom-poms, and black striped paper straws. Attach the glue dots to the pom-poms and hold it onto the straw. It’s that simple! No other glue is needed.

To create the second version of truffula trees, do the same steps but use Dr. Seuss pencils instead!

Attach the self-adhesive glitter mustache. Use glue dots to attach the pom-pom nose and googly eyes to the flower pot.

To incorporate writing into this adorable Lorax Flower Pot, have students write a response to how they will help the earth. Students can attach their response to a pencil or straw.

Now they are ready to be displayed around the classroom. Students could make this DIY flower pot in a group, also! This might help save on space around your room. I hope this post has inspired you to get crafty and creative to celebrate Read Across America Week.
