Hi girls! Sadly, Earth Week is ending tomorrow, but that doesn't mean that you have to stop caring for the Earth and being good stewards of God's creation (yes, I am a Christian). Let your dolls do their part for the environment by making them a place to grow their plants in! Let's get started!
Before you begin, you will need some supplies (sorry for being sideways):
- Small egg carton (or a large one cut in half)
- Green paint
- Sponge brush
- Foam letters or other decorations
- Scissors
- Newspaper
Before you begin, I would suggest putting newspaper down as this is a VERY messy project.
Get out your egg carton and cut off the top as shown below. DO NOT THROW THIS OUT!!! We will be using it later on in the project.
Cut off the little tab thingy (lol) that I am pointing to. You may throw this away or recycle if it is recyclable.
Great! Now, your egg carton should look like this.
Now we get to use the part that I asked you to save earlier. Pour your green paint into it instead of using a paper plate. You will not need to much.
Turn over your egg carton and use your sponge brush to dab on the paint, covering as much white space as possible. I wouldn't suggest brushing, because you won't get the same textured "grassy" feel.
When you are done, it should look like this. Let it dry about half way before turning over.
Great! Now add your decorations! My foam letters spell out "Go Green".
And here is what your finished project should look like. Let it dry overnight. Now your doll can plant small flowers in the holder. Make sure to tell her about the proper care of a plant! Or, you could even conduct a science class and this could be their experiment! Want class ideas? E-mail us at 1milliondollies@gmail.com and I will post some! Good luck on your new garden!
Ps. Tomorrow is Show and Tell Saturday. Email us your pics of your dolls using our crafts at 1milliondollies@gmail.com and we will post them!
