A CLASS PROJECT
An elementary school class started a class project to make planters to take home. They wanted to use a plant that was easy to take care of, so cactus was chosen.
The students were given green-ware pottery planters in the shape of clowns which they painted with glaze. Then the planters were professionally fired at a class outing so they could see the process.
It was great fun! They planted cactus seeds in the finished planters and they grew nicely, but unfortunately, the children were not allowed to take them home.
The cactus plants were removed and were replaced by a small ivy plant. Only after the change were the children allowed to take the planters home.
The teacher said cactus seemed like a good idea at the time!
