Materials
- 3" Styrofoam Ball
- Brown Paint
- Playdoh or modeling clay
- Popsicle Stick
- Red Pom Poms
- Small Plant Pot (about 2" diameter)
- Thick Green Paint (we used puffy paint, acrylics would work too)
Instructions
- Paint the popsicle stick brown
- Fill the plant pot with playdoh
- Stick the popsicle stick into the styrofoam ball, and then stick the other end into the pot of playdoh
- Paint the styrofoam ball green - make sure to dab the paint on thickly so that the surface appears uneven (but not so thick that the paint starts to roll off)
- Whilst the paint is still wet, press red pom poms onto the paint (Or if you would prefer, wait for the paint to dry and use glue to apply the pom poms)
