Here’s an easy craft that uses ready-made foam pieces and a small terra cotta pot. This is a great way to fill a short stretch of crafting time without needing to get out the glue and other messy supplies. (Although at FreePreschoolCrafts.com, we’re big fans of getting messy!)

What You Need: Terra cotta flower pot; adhesive-backed foam animals, bugs, flowers, etc.
How to Make It: Give each child a flower pot and offer a nice variety of foam pieces to choose from in decorating his or her special flower pot. These make a great gift.

What You Need: 4″ x 6″ photo, glue that works on wood, glitter glue, multicolored sequins, 5 “jumbo” size craft sticks, magnetic strip, scissors.

How You Make It: Arrange craft sticks so that two are parallel and one crosses them about 3/4″ from the bottom. Secure with glue. Arrange last two sticks so they meet in a “point” at the top. Make sure your picture will fit behind house shape and glue at top and sides. Glue sequins to craft sticks and write name using glitter glue.
