Craftykins // Pretty Pots by Maia McDonald

By Priscila Barros, Editor-in-Chief 2 Comments

Today we have this adorable and perfect summer craft by Maia McDonald, co-founder of Bitte. We would love to see your crafts too! Tag us with #craftykins on instagram and we may feature you!

I love any craft that is quick and easy, can be done with your little one,and the result is something you’ll actually enjoy in your home. These painted potted plants are that perfect summer craft. Because my daughter is not yet 2 and we were using acrylic paints I did most of the painting but kids a little older can easily create their own designs and the younger ones can help with potting the plants. My daughter loves any excuse to play in dirt.
Craftykins // Painted Potted Plants

What you need //
Plain planters
Masking tape
Acrylic paint
Paint brushes
(Plants)

How To //
Clean the pots of any dirt or debri
Tape off design with masking tape (I went with simple geometric shapes, you can also free hand)
Paint your pot
Let dry
Peel of the tape if you used it and voilà! You’ve got a beautiful new pot to fill with your favorite plant
Another great use for them is as storage, you can store your garden tools or even bring them inside and use them as crayon or craft supply holders

Copyright © 2022 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
